Numbers

This explains the crossing of the seven. Interesting.

Do you know why numbers look like they do? Someone, at some point in time,
had to create their shapes and meaning.

Watch this short presentation and then you will know how our Arabic numbers
were originally created a very long time ago and what logic the people that
created them used to determine their shapes.
It is really very simple and quite creative.

You have to admire the intelligence of a person who created something so
simple and perfect that it has lasted for thousands and thousands of years
and probably will never change.

When the presentation gets to the number "seven" you will notice that the 7
has a line through the middle of it.
That was the way the Arabic 7 was originally written, and in Europe and
certain other areas they still write the 7 that way. Also, in the military
they commonly write it that way. Now you'll learn why.

The nine has a kind of a curly tail on it which has been reduced for the
most part nowadays to a simple curve, but the original logic involved still
applies.
