This is not true. Our Western numbers today derive from Arabic ones:

You can make up math but you can’t make up history

Numbers have never looked like that... This is bullshit.

Something I never thought I wanted to know. Super interesting 💪

I worry he might be making this up now have to go look

I dunno how true it is, but the explanation made sense

This is not accurate.

He only counts the inside and outside when he needs it.

They didn't even know about 0 when 1-9 were invented

Why do you count the outside angles on some numbers but not all numbers

Lol, just read history.

This is completely fucking false.. what a dumb fuck

An interesting method of communicating the symbols to something that makes sense, but ultimately, not the origin. Our numerals are originate from Hindu symboled which were then developed through western Arabic before it was adopted in the west

Still bullshit.

but how would you know how to count the angles without numbers

Quick note: Zero wasn’t intuitive and it wasn’t around all the time like regular numbers. It was invented at around the V century in India then adopted progressively by scholars around the world.

Why would someone make it their life’s work to figure out why numbers are shaped the way they are and 55 years later make a video of “why” just to get community noted 😂 loser

Zero was invented by Al Kharezmi, it was a dot, you're using Arabic numbers it had nothing to do with angles and their count dumb idiots.

Bullshit! The modern numbers are given to us by the Arabic numerals. White people trying to lie their way through history

What a bullshit take. Fake research. Go read up about Hindu numerals

That sounds good but it’s not true.

This is what is meant by "bad education"

You’ve been told this was wrong before, and are still posting it? Smh

By this logic shouldn’t 0 have 4 angles?

Anything to not give the Arabic people their flowers.

I'm pretty sure this is absolute horseshit. Our numbers come from Arabic numerals. And they did not look exactly like that. We transitioned from Roman numerals to Arabic ones because they had a zero and you can't do complex math without it.

Hmm 🤔 Is this true or BS? You have to write them funny to get it to be consistent. I guess I'd have to see some old timey numbers written like you suggest.

This is bullshit

Americans didn't even invent these symbols but leave it to an American to pretend like these symbols are universal

I mean, this has been discredited Didn’t you even bother to check?

Who's gonna tell him they're called ARABIC Numerals...

Where is thrembo?

The 7 explanation is BS, I’ve never seen 7 writen that way.

This is so fucking stupid.
