Subject: Why 1 means One & 2 means Two

 
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 
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. 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
