Comment on "Nik": The Mesoamerican Representation of Zero (2021)

Comments

I always find these articles about highly visual subjects that don't show any images to be a little bit under-researched. The Maya language and numeral system is fascinating in part because of its visual beauty. Maya text and design elements are widely incorporated into architecture and media in the region, even today.

This article showed us none of that. Not even a single image of a zero.

Check out Figure 1 again, it definitely has one.
