Answer:
The Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia, which flourished some 5000 years ago, provides the earliest proof of zero (source: Robert Kaplan, The Nothing that is: a natural History of Zero).
Step-by-step explanation:
- It's interesting to note that different cultures independently came up with the idea of "zero." Chinese, Hindus, Mayans, and Babylonians all developed symbols for zero. For instance, this article on the genesis of zero shows them.
- Our representation of zero was first used in India (where it was represented as a dot) in the fifth century. From there, it moved to Cambodia around the end of the seventh century, then to China and the Islamic nations in the eighth century. In the 12th century, it made it to western Europe. China is where the open circle used to represent zero first appeared.
