The ancient Egyptians are a prime example of a culture that represented numbers with pictures. They used hieroglyphics, which included symbols to denote quantities and concepts, allowing them to record numerical information in various contexts, such as in trade, astronomy, and administration. Similarly, the Mayans also utilized a system of pictorial symbols for their numerical representation, particularly in their calendar and astronomical calculations.
