Numerals ( Informative )

By BR -

 

 

Please note that the numbering system (decimal) was evolved in India by

invention of 0 by mathematician/Astrologer named Aryabhatt. While Arab's

were the first foreigners to come to India and learn this system who

introduced this to Europeans who were using Roman numbering earlier. Hence

it is called Indo-arabc and not ARABIC.

 

If you see the pronunciation of the original Sanskrit numbers and the latin

number, they are very similar.

 

This is for your information and I request you to please immediately

clarify the same to every one so that we can stop spreading the wrong and

incomplete information.

 

Thanks and Best regards,

The numbers we all use (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) are known as " arabic " numbers

to distinguish them from the " Roman Numerals" (I, II, III, IV, V, VI,

etc). Actually the arabs popularized these numbers but they were originally

used by the early phonecian traders to count and keep track of their

trading accounts.

 

Have you ever thought why ........ 1 means "one", and 2 means "two"? The

roman numerals are easy to understand but what was the logic behind the

phonecian numbers?

It's all about angles !

It's the number of angles. If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a

piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why. I have marked

the angles with "o"s.

No 1 has one angle.

No 2 has two angles.

No 3 has three angles.

etc.

 

and "O" has no angles

Interesting, isn't it?

An ancient phonecian manuscript explains this and I thought it to be

fascinating.

Pearls as an accessory holds its ground with whatever you wear it….   Valuable pearls occur in the wild, but they are very rare. These are called Natural Pearls . They are formed inside the shell of certain mollusks: as a defense mechanism to a potentially threatening irritant such as a parasite inside its shell, injuring the mantle tissue. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to seal off the irritation. They come in many shapes with perfectly round ones being comparatively rare. Single natural pearls are often sold as a collector's item, o
