I don't foreclose the possibility that "Abraham", or his model, learned it and taught it, but it also seems likely, as a successful trader, that he would have learned it in one place and moved one to compare it in another.

Why were the Muslim successful in math and science, exactly because they were nomadic and could share knowledge.
