Origin Of Zero

What strikes you about the articles? What strikes me about the article is that the number zero arrived in West Circa in 1200 by an Italian Mathematic named Fibonacci. Another thing that stikes me is that the symbols of zero is no longer used today than how it was used back then.

How do we decide who discovers what? Who ever has the first evidence of the discovery of zero is who is going to be claimed the person that discovered it.

Who actually discovered zero? The city that discovered zero was Mesopotamia around 5,000 years ago they discovered zero.

Who really discovered zero? The person who actually discovered zero was nobody because it was discovered in Mesopotamia but it arrived in West Circa in 1200. So i guess nobody actually discovered zero.

Is it the person who came up with the concept of zero or the person who discovered the actual number? I thnk that the person who actually discovered is the one who finalisizes it.

And how did the entire world come to a consensus without an efficient means of communication? Well for me is that maybe one person from Mesopotamia or from West Circa went to different places and it started to spread the symbols of zero and the number zero  so then it soon was around th world.
