Origin of Zero?


What is the origin of zero? How did we indicate nothingness before zero?

The first evidence we have of zero is from the Sumerian culture in Mesopotamia, some 5,000 years ago. There is nothing before zero because it has no multiples and can’t be squared. Zero is the standard it is the set number it’s either positive or negative but zero is not positive or negative.
