India - What the Ancients Did for Us

Video Source: Google Videos

India is one of the oldest and richest civilizations in the world. The Ancient Indians have invented Chaturanga, which became the game of chess. They "taught the world 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.
