Our dear Robert is only embarrassing himself! Let us go back as far as Akkadian

And the little funny chat goes on and on between our dear Robert and of all people our dear Deb so here is your lesson for today

Here is 1 to 10 in the Akkadian language (more than 3000 years before Arabian imperialism)

1.Isten
2. sina
3. salas
4. erbe
5. khamish
6. shedish
7. sebe
8. samane
9. tishe
10. esher

Any Arabic speaker, which you are not, will be able to read and understand these numbers!

Oh Akkadian? Well you are a big boy! Google it

Here is 1 to 10 in Syriac (the direct source of the Arabic numbers)

Syriac
1 had
2 tren
3 tlot
4 arba'
5 khamesh
6 shet
7 shba'
8 tmone
9 tsha'
10 'sar

Now compare with Arabic
1 wahid
2 ethnin
3 thalatha
4 arba'a
5 khamsa
6 seta
7 sab'a
8 tamania
9 tes'a
10 ashara

All the Arabs and their prophet and his Allah did was to plagiarize these numbers from the older and more sophisticated civilizations of the Middle East and these numbers go back as far as Akkadian

However, these numbers got into Arabic from Syriac The prophet of Islam must have had knowledge of Syriac otherwise he would not have been able to understand many verses and words in the Qur'an that are Syriac and not Arabic (Gasp!)

Do you get it our dear Robert? BTW: Urdu will not help you!

There is a very celebrated saying by the great German historian C Becker and I'm paraphrasing: Without Alexander the Great there would have been no Arabic/Islamic civilization!

Let me help you with this one: The Arabs built their civilization of knowledge acquired by the previous civilizations (Gasp!)

And for the nth time: Numbers and alphabets don't drop from the sky!
