Was watching Engineering an Empire on the history channel and the episode was covering the Mayan empire.
They were talking about how the Mayan empire “created” (don’t remember the exact wording used) the concept of zero. Which aided them in the designing and building of their structures and temples. And due to them knowing the concept of zero they were much more advanced than European empires/civilizations. If that’s true then how were much older civilizations able to build the structures they did without the concept of zero?

while growing up i was told that wars were waged over the concept of zero. but nobody ever elaborated on that concept that appeared so interesting to me. i hope to learn more reading comments. thank you for asking this question.
