Framed Print of Mayan Number System, Codex Dresdensis
Maya numerals are a vigesimal (base-twenty) numeral system used by the Pre-Columbian (before the appearance of significant European influences on the American continents) Maya civilization. The numerals are made up of three symbols; zero (shell shape), one (a dot) and five (a bar). The Mayans used a zero in their mathematical system well before the West received the concept from India. The Dresden Codex is a pre-Columbian Maya book of the eleventh or twelfth century. This Maya codex is believed to be a copy of an original text of some three or four hundred years earlier. It is the oldest book written in the Americas known to historians. The Dresden Codex is considered the most complete of the three indisputably authentic Maya codices. It is speculated that it was sent by Hernán Cortés as a tribute to King Charles I of Spain in 1519. The codex has been in Europe ever since. © New York Public Library / Science Source
