"So without actually counting or even understanding the notion of numbers, it was possible for very precise trades and transactions to take place." It's pretty cool that people were able to use numbers without even really understanding them. Wish I could do that now...
"Nothing was invented around 1,800 years ago in India. lt was a very important nothing." Nothing being important kind of strikes me as funny for some reason. Why did it take so long for humans to grasp the concept? It doesn't seem so difficult, but that's probably because we have so much experience with it, and our thinking is definitely higher level.
