In ancient Babylonian mathematics, the expression of volume forumla for the frustrum of a square pyramid is much more complicated than its modern form. Many workds of the history of mathematics just list hte formula without explaination. Ivor Gratta Guiness gave ane xplanation about the forumla by means of the semnetation methnod used by the ancient Chinese matehmatician Liu Hui This paper points out theat Guinness' combination of the segments is not quite resonable and reconstructs the proof for the Babylonian volume formula.
