Why Numbers like : 1 is One & 2 is two.????????? 1 Attachment(s) Why Numbers like : 1 is One & 2 is two................... have you ever thought why ........ 1 means "one", and 2 means "two"? The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was the logicbehind the Phoenician 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 Attachment 6264 Interesting, isn't it? An ancient Phoenician manuscript explains this |
