Curious About Number Origins? Discover the Fascinating Logic Behind Phoenician Numerals

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 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.

Interesting, isn't it? An ancient Phoenician manuscript explains this, and I found it fascinating.

Upon review, the corrected text with proper spelling, grammar, and paragraph formatting is as follows:

"At 7, why are you putting an underline at one? Also, we can underline it; it goes to 3 circles, so 1 equals 3."
