ABACUS.
HYPOTHESIS: Abacus will count for you

Abacus was invented by the ancient Sumero-Aztecs. They were a people far removed from other peoples, and smarter too. They did not wait for progress to catch up to them. They went ahead and invented things like Abacus.

Some people speculate that the Sumero-Aztecs were visited by space aliens at a crucial phase of their development. They were given the secrets of time and space. One of the spin-offs to this was the wonderous Abacus.

But this is not proven. How much more amazing it is, almost, if they invented it themselves! That would take a genius of biometric proportions.

For it is no joke to say that the abacus changed human development as we now know it. Math was alot harder before and still continues to be hard, but not as much with Abacus. Calculations can be made by simply shifting beads about. One bead equals = one, and at another level equals = 10. At still another level a single bead can as much as equal = 100.

And that is how Abacus works. It takes no genius! Even the very stupid kid who can not pass grade six might be able to use one. Though I am not convinced he could pour piss out of a boot if there were instructions on the heel. That is how stupid he is.


CONCLUSION:

Abacus was one of the top inventions of the age. We have much to thank the Sumero-Aztecs for, and Abacus is one of them.
