Hello!
I was wondering if anyone out there might be able to help me with a question
about the Egyptian decimal number system comprised of 7 hieroglyphs. I
believe they started about 3000BC. Do you know how long the 7 symbols were
used, before being replaced? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much,

Kavon
