DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT?
  https://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/e_mc2.pdf

  The 1923 English translation modified the notation used in
  Einstein's 1905 paper to conform to that in use by the
  1920's; for example, c denotes the speed of light, as
  opposed the V used by Einstein in 1905. In this paper
  Einstein uses L to denote energy; the italicised sentence in
  the conclusion may be written as the equation "m = L/c2"
  which, using the more modern E instead of L to denote
  energy, may be trivially rewritten as "E = mc2".

The Derivation of E = mc2

  "Perhaps the most famous equation of all time is E = mc2. The
  equation is a direct result of the theory of special
  relativity, but what does it mean and how did Einstein find
  it? In short, the equation describes how energy and mass are
  related. Einstein used a brilliant thought experiment to
  arrive at this equation, which we will briefly review here.

  "First of all, let us consider a particle of light, also
  known as a photon. One of the interesting properties of
  photons is that they have momentum and yet have no mass.
  This was established in the 1850s by James Clerk Maxwell.
  However, if we recall our basic physics, we know that
  momentum is made up of two components: mass and velocity.
  How can a photon have momentum and yet not have a mass?
  Einstein's great insight was that the energy of a photon
  must be equivalent to a quantity of mass and hence could
  be related to the momentum."

A simple derivation of E = mc2
  https://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0308039.pdf

  Abstract - Einstein's 1905 derivation of E = mc2 has been
  criticized for being circular. Although such criticism have
  been challenged it is certainly true that the reasoning in
  Einstein's original derivation is not at all obvious.
  Einstein's original derivation could be been made clearer.
  This article describes a clear way of doing so.

The theory of relativity and the Pythagorean theorem*
  /https://arxiv.org/pdf/0809.2379.pdf

  It is shown that the most important effects of special and
  general theory of relativity can be understood in a simple
  and straightforward way. The system of units in which the
  speed of light c is the unit of velocity allows to cast all
  formulas in a very simple form. The Pythagorean theorem
  graphically relates energy, momentum and mass. The paper is
  addressed to those who teach and popularize the theory of
  relativity
