If a video under that title claims otherwise, it is conflating it with genuinely mathematical tablets. Here is what BM 92687 actually records. It is a schematic circular world map: a ring-ocean (*marratu*) encircling a central disc, with the Euphrates drawn as a vertical line, Babylon near the top, and several named cities and districts (Assyria, Elam, Urartu, Habban, etc.).
