In a temple in Gwalior, India you can find the oldest known representation of the circular symbol for nothing ("shunya") or zero.

Americans had to put up with a Big, Fat, ZERO for eight l-o-n-g years!
However, if FELT like hundreds of years longer...

So, another muzzie lie exposed.
Their zero amounted to.....
Nothing.

So...these guys surely realize there was math before the 3rd or 4th century, right?
And while the zero may not have looked like “0”, it was still there.

pointless. 1 - 1 = nothing. which logically they would draw a straight line. Who cares how they represented zero.

Mohammed was born April 22, 571 AD, the 6th century.
The Bakhshali manuscript is now believed to date from the 3rd or 4th Century. So the dot meaning zero existed before Islam. In Arabic today, the dot means zero.
The unanswered question is if the m*slims got the zero dot from the people who created this manuscript, or if they invented it separately.
Regardless, m*slims can no longer claim to be the inventors of zero.

Math is easy...just follow a SIMPLE set of rules..
But original concepts in math are HARD...the concept of zero required a true genius to discover it.
Seems simple now... but original ideas almost always look simple after someone else describes them.

Jethro Bodeen revolutionized the naming of the word zero:
“Not plus not equals not”.
He later became a double not spy.

It was thought & taught for years, that “zero” for the Eastern world was discovered by the Arabic people.
