In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have uncovered an ancient numerical system that has been long forgotten. The "fish" and "two-strokes" numeral are a very famous co-occurrence that is believed to be at least 4,000 years old. Sign 59 & 87 (IM77/IDF80) twins more than a hundred times, expressing a common metrological unit or some fixed entity of a "dual nature". As an example, seal 2667 from Mohenjodaro was found to contain this unique set of symbols. This incredible discovery has sparked the interest of scholars around the world who are eager to learn more about this mysterious numerical system. While it is still unclear what purpose these symbols served in ancient times, it is clear that they were used for something significant and could provide valuable insight into our past. Researchers are hopeful that further study will reveal more about the origins and meaning behind these fascinating symbols. The discovery of these ancient numerals has also led to speculation about their potential uses in modern times. Could they be used as an alternative form of communication? Or perhaps as part of a new mathematical language? Only time will tell what other secrets these symbols may hold!
