Its roots stretch back to the dawn of mathematics in the time, thousands of years before the first civilization, long before humans could read and write. But as natural as zero seems to us today for ancient peoples. Zero was a foreign and frightening idea. An Eastern concept born in the fertile crescent. A few centuries before the birth of Christ.
