"Zero"


Hello Doves,

The information on zero is from http://bibletime.com/bt/site/search/index.html?keyword=zero&x=31&y=11
 
Ancients had no zero digit. They counted time using strictly 1 based counting numbers. Modern Astronomers have introduced a year zero between 1 BC and 1 AD that historians would not have acknowledged. This introduces errors. (Copyright)Bibletime.com

Neither Hebrew, Greek nor Roman counting systems had a digit for zero. Nothing was written or counted using zero not even the Bible. The first item in lists of items is item number 1. Obvious? Yes, but modern people don't always count this way. (Copyright)Bibletime.com

This is why I didn't use 012 + 111 = 123 in the follow up chart for 123 + 111 = 234.      666 + 111 = 777!  Also, if 234 is lifted from the counting sequence of 1..2..3..4..5.., the missing 1 and 5 can add to 6.
