'Numbers'

Why Numbers like : 1 is One & 2 is two.?????????
have you ever thought why ........

1 means "one", and 2 means "two"? The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was the logic behind the Phoenician numbers?
.
It's all about angles ! It's the number of angles. If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why.
.
I have marked the angles with "o"s.
.
No 1 has one angle.
.
No 2 has two angles.
.
No 3 has three angles. etc.
.
and "O" has no angles
Interesting, isn't it?
