Explanation of the Pythagoras Therom Proof
The proof actually was "Look". Don't just see, but rather "Look". Carefully that is.
It took me a while to figure this out as well.
The picture shows two squares equal in area. Each square has 4 similar triangles albeit placed differently in the two figures. So removing these 4 triangles from each of these pictures should leave behind the same area. And now if you "look" that is the proof right there.
