The Hindu-Arabic numeral system originated in India and was based on the Brahmi numerals that can be traced back to Budhist inscriptions from the 3rd century BCE. However, it wasn't until the 9th Century CE that the digit 0 was first seen. The system was base-9 until that time, but was nonetheless positional, using spaces to indicate no value.
