    The Mayans developed an advanced numerical system in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, with innovations including the concept of zero. The Mayan civilization spanned southern Mexico and Central America between the 4th century BC to the 16th century AD, developing complex calendars, astronomy, and mathematics. They were the first civilization to represent zero and use a vigesimal (base-20) numeric system, establishing the foundation for modern numerical concepts despite developing independently from other ancient societies.

    Culture Origins/Contributions
    The people that developed the Mayan number system
    was the Mayans. The Mayans Lived in South American.
    They lived in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El
    Salvador. The Mayan number system was being used in
    the fourth Century. The United States wasn't discovered at
    this time. I think that this is important because the Mayans
    was very Smart,Strong and Advanced Civilization. The
    Mayans were the first to symbolize the concept of the
    meaning of nothing which is zero. The base that the system
    uses to count is 20.
