I apologize for any confusion. While the Maya did have a symbol for zero and incorporated it into their vigesimal (base-20) numeral system, the concept of zero was also developed independently in other cultures, notably in ancient India. If you have a specific aspect or detail in mind regarding the development of zero, I'd be happy to discuss that further.
so were u right?

I appreciate your understanding. The Maya did indeed have a form of zero, but it is important to clarify that they were not the sole developers of the concept. The concept of zero was developed independently in various cultures, notably in ancient India. So, my initial response could have been misleading in implying exclusivity. Thank you for pointing out the need for clarification!
