Since ancient times, when early humans began to populate the earth, counting was a necessity. The first pastors, for example, they need to know how many sheep had their flock, and then start counting in scoring a stick up a notch, each notch representing an animal.
But if the sheep began to be many, a stick was not enough!
So they invented a new symbol
by which describe a group of ten animals, such as a circle, and so on. were other ways to count the fingers, each hand as we always have five fingers and five objects were said to indicate "a hand of objects," or "two hands" or "a man", to indicate fingers and feet, that is twenty.
Slowly with the evolution of the need to count things or objects, it became increasingly evident with the passage of time every ancient civilization gave birth to a 
numbering system consisting of symbols. Here's a rhyme on the numbers:
1 hour 2 hours sleep on the horse cock
3 the traveler
4 hours walking the prelate 5 6 hours, the magistrate
7 students
8 hours all the people
9 worship 10 hours
laziness!
