Are Arabic Numerals  Based on Angles

(Sent by Mr S K Lohar )

Have you ever thought why........ 1 means "one", and 2 means "two"?    The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was the logic  behind the phonecian numbers?

It's all about angles !

It's the number of angles.  If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of  paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why.

I have marked the angles with "o"s.

No 1 has one angle.

No 2 has two angles.

No 3 has three angles.

etc. and "O" has no angles  

Interesting, isn't it?  

An ancient Phoenician manuscript explains this.
