elliptical model of the Planet with a planet spin on their axes and follow the elliptical orbits the sun and the moon
Revolving around the earth in Epic cycle next up number two is this
Not the letter o by the number zero now
I want them to note that the digit zero has always been linked to ancient philosophy of nothingness
and is one of the many examples of intermeshing of science and math along with combining it with
spirituality and Philosophy in ancient
India Indians however were the first to use zero as a symbol and all so in arithmetic operation although
Babylonians view Zero to signify the
Absent in those early times a blank space was used to denote zero later when it created confusion a dot was used to denote
zero around the time of
500 ad when Aryabhata was alive he then gave the new symbol for zero which we now know as this?

Accessibility issues that they have with toilet harbor flush toilets were first in the indus valley
civilisation these existed in most homes and were connected to a
Sophisticated sewage system the civilization was very prominent in hydraulic engineering now a lot of what we see
Printed in this world is due to the invention of ink many ancient cultures and civilizations
independently discovered and prepared ink for writing
purposes now the source of the carbon pigment used an ancient Indian ink called Musi was
Indian way back since the fourth Century BC
The practice of writing with ink with a sharp pointed needle was common in South India now. All you ladies
