Best Answer

An abacus is a counting board or an ancient version of a calculator. Its first recorded use is by the ancient Sumerians in about 2500 BC. From that time on it seemed that all the ancient cultures used an abacus in some form or another. It is still used in parts of Asia and Africa today. The word itself is from the old Middle English which in turn took it from the Latin.

everyone made it at some time, we were not there when they made it thus it is not possible to be able to assume one single entity at one origin had made it
