Nile Numbers
The Egyptians developed a system of writing, called hieroglyphics,
that used picture symbols to represent numbers and objects. Here
are the hieroglyphs for the numbers 1–1,000:
number
hieroglyph
object
1
staff
5
10
arch
50
100
coiled rope
1,000
flower
As you can see, there was no symbol for zero.
