Perhaps, but parents or group leaders had to divide food amongst their families before they could have armies.

@@dreed7312 You’re right & individual number words predate Babel by at least ten thousand years - likely far far far longer than even that. But we can say with certainty humans knew how to count with integers at least 12,000 years ago when PIE split off - hence the fact that Hindu & English share the same words for two, three, seven and nine. With the caveat being that Babylon was a Nilo-Semitic society not a PIE society, but hell the Babylonians were using a sexagesimal (base 60) arithmetic in order to divide fractions & do all sorts of high level mathematics.

Quantitative facts (like how how many men an army has) are discovered. Then man invents mathematical methods (like this one) to grasp those quantitative facts.

This is meant as a fiction to see how math could have been invented. We don't know the actual circumstances under which math was first conceived.

@Inductica I was talking about the comment by the milhua76 lol, not your video. You need to imagine yourself working through these comments and applying reason! Which reply did I click on?? 🤔 Sorry for the confusion. I liked the video
