Bakhshali manuscript from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has the earliest recorded origin of the zero symbol

[Suriya]

So you still believe that the earth is flat perched atop the horns of a bull .... and the women need to burn themselves alive after the death of their husband...wow what a legacy and religion to follow..

And Sati tradition was neither part of Hindu religion nor compulsory in practice . Even in practice , Women who had kids were discouraged to join her husband's funeral pyre to become sati .

And what about the geography that links Peshawar valley to Tamil Nadu or bangala, please do enlighten me


forget Einstein troll, they claim to have been responsible for Atlantis, thanks to their foreign Guru Michel Danino

Wasn't Abraham and Ali supposed to be a Hindu prophet according to some Indian scholars?

No idea, these guys claim to be responsible for almost any thing and everything, even the ZERO heheheeee

 

[MultaniGuy]

The Indians are just trolling.

The Zero discovery came from ancient Pakistan.


So what is Buddha had his enlightenment in Bihar. Buddha was born in modern day Nepal.

One Point everybody misses is that the zero has not been defined in this manuscript..It would take people from the Gangetic Plain to do that.....and even if the evidence of zero can be found in NWFP, it just shows that they were able to do with because of awareness of the Mahayana Buddhist concept of Shunyata/Emptiness.................

It is the obsession with emptiness around 100 BC onwards that Mahayana Buddhists and Vedantins (post Brahma Sutra) had that led to the development of zero...the colder, drier climate of NWFP also helped with preservation, which has been the bane of subcontinental texts..............


It is not the Abrahamics of that time (Jews,Christians,Essenes,Samaritans) who invented the zero...You need to have a radically different conception of Reality vis-a-vis the Abrahamics to come up with Zero


Even Buddha was forming his own ideas about nothingness with the Arupa Jhanas

• fifth jhāna: infinite space (Pali ākāsānañcāyatana, Skt. ākāśānantyāyatana),
• sixth jhāna: infinite consciousness (Pali viññāṇañcāyatana, Skt. vijñānānantyāyatana),
• seventh jhāna: infinite nothingness (Pali ākiñcaññāyatana, Skt. ākiṃcanyāyatana),
• eighth jhāna: neither perception nor non-perception (Pali nevasaññānāsaññāyatana, Skt. naivasaṃjñānāsaṃjñāyatana).

and before that there was the Brihadarayanaka Upanishad

Springing forth from these elements itself
solid knowledge is destroyed
when they are destroyed—
after death no intelligence remains




And of course there is the Nasadiya Sukta:

Which talks of the One arising suddenly out of Nothingness and then splitting up to make Reality

The Indians are just trolling.

Siddhartha was born in Nepal, the Buddha was born in Bihar...90% of his 500 monks who would later spread Buddhism, came from Magadha region...only two of his monks were from Balkh

Buddha, Luddha, Shuddha, Muddha, Wisha, Ganga. Indians. Dance all you like. Right now. Zero is from Pakistan. We need to build a huge Zero monument in Bakhshali.

Ps. Now y'all can get together and consult the book called "101 Excuses" to try to lick it as Indian. But you been suckered. Zero is hero from Pakistan.

And I thought Atlantis was bad enough lol.Kudos sir

 

[ashok mourya]

Congratulations Pakistan.. You got zero...

 

[Pakistani E]

They had a concept of zero as place value but they did not have a symbol for zero. And their base was 60. They used same symbol for 1 and 60 which is still used in clocks for minutes and seconds and in trigonometry for angles. Even Mayans had a symbol for zero but their base was 20. It is the base 10 and concept of zero as place value that made the Hindu=Arabic numerals to take off.



They still have some speakers of Coptic language in Egypt and this Coptic language is used by clergy in Coptic churches.

Coptic (fourth - fourteenth century AD)

• 
  Coptic is the last phase of ancient Egyptian. It is the direct descendant of the ancient language written in Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic scripts. The Coptic alphabet is a slightly modified form of the Greek alphabet, with some letters (which vary from dialect to dialect) deriving from demotic. As a living language of daily conversation, Coptic flourished from ca. 200 to 1100. The last record of its being spoken was during the 17th century. Coptic survives today as the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Egyptian Arabic is the spoken and national language of Egypt today.

Hazarewals speak an Iranic language I think. Or maybe a Germanic one. It may even be Altaic.
