          @why You're thinking of Babylonian numerals, also most numerical systems were, as we now call it, "impure base 10" meaning that they used a symbol for ten and none for zero
          furthermore while it is normal for humans to use base-10 most languages show signs of their people using other bases, per example the Gauls (now French) used a base 20 numeral, which is why their word for 80 is "Quatre-vingt" literally "four twenties"
          a native American tribe original to California used a base 8, because funnily enought they didn't use their fingers to count, they used the space BETWEEN their fingers
