    The Egyptians developed one of the earliest number systems as early as 3600 BC using hieroglyphic symbols to represent numbers. They used a base-ten tally system where ten symbols of one value were replaced by a single symbol of the next higher value. Their numerals did not have place value, so the order of symbols did not affect the value, which was determined by adding the values of the individual symbols.

    EGYPTIAN NUMERALS.

    There is archaeological evidence that as long ago as 3600 BC the Egyptians were
    using a detailed number system. The symbols used to represent numbers were pictures
    of everyday things. These symbols are called hieroglyphics which means sacred picture
    writings.

    The Egyptians used a tally system based on the number ten. Ten of one symbol
    could be replaced by one of another symbol. It is called a base ten system.

    The order in which the symbols were written down did not affect the value of
    the numerals. The value of the numerals could be found by adding the value of the
    symbols used. So, 53 could be written as:
