The question is moot.
Anyone and everyone who wants to play with geometry and tweak their own shapes can find their own unique proof.
There are (theoretically) an infinite number of ways of proving.
I guess your question really should be "how many ways have been published?"
Believe me, I have looked at and studied plenty of these proofs myself... before I completely lost interest... and realizing that its just geometry with a little algebra here and there.
I dont recall who, but one of the USA presidents, a mathematician, created his own proof in his younger years. One, in fact, that I find easiest to follow, recreate and explain/demonstrate to a layman.

The statement of the Theorem was discovered on a Babylonian tablet circa 1900-1600 B.C. Whether Pythagoras (c.560-c.480 B.C.) or someone else from his School was the first to discover its proof can't be claimed with any degree of credibility. Euclid's (c 300 B.C.) Elements furnish the first and, later, the standard reference in Geometry.
