I don't know that's a great example given that many cultures don't share those numerals, so it can't be assumed these ideas propagate solely by the virtue of being old.
- mlindner 4y agoWhat culture that's developed enough to control a nation state doesn't use those numerals? Many cultures have alternative numerals that are in use, but usually only in informal usage.
