Question

did Zapotec develop the fist system of writing in the americans, or did they develop the numeral zero? choose one

Answer 1

The Zapotec civilization is credited with developing one of the earliest writing systems in the Americas. Their writing system, known as Zapotec script, emerged around the same time as other early Mesoamerican scripts. While they made significant contributions to writing, the numeral zero is more closely associated with the Maya civilization, who developed it independently later on. Therefore, if I have to choose one, the Zapotec developed the first system of writing in the Americas.
