Ancient Egyptians wrote numbers as pictures. The Ancient Egyptions wrote the following:


  • a short rope for the ones
  • a long rope for the tens
  • a coil for the hundreds
  • a flower for the thousnads
  • a finger  for the ten thousands
  • a frog for the hundreds thousands
  • a person praying to thier god for the million

 For example: 2020 is written with 2 flowers and 2 long ropes.
