What_the_Ancients_Did_for_Us
India is one of the oldest and richest
civilizations in the world. It is home to
the world's first planned cities, where
every house had its own bathroom and
toilet five thousand years ago. The
Ancient Indians have not only given us
yoga, meditation and complementary
medicines, but they have furthered our
knowledge of science, maths - and
invented Chaturanga, which became
the game of chess.
According to Albert Einstein, they
"taught us how to count", as they
invented the numbers 1-9 and 'zero',
without which there would be no
computers or digital age. Unfairly we
call this system of counting "Arabic
numbers" - a misplaced credit.
