Why Numbers like : 1 is One & 2 is two.... interesting

sobit · #1 (**permalink**) 03-05-2009, 04:36 PM

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[/size]

Interesting, isn't it?

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

LOL SNAP! That's really really cool.
But all the numbers look ugly cos they're square-ish and not round.
But still very amusing/interesting.

Excellent. I am really amazed in thinking these. I must try to find the logic in it.
