no
The ancient Egyptian numeric system did not operate on a "base" system such as we use today; it is true that the system used units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands and so on, but each of these numeric values was represented by completely differentnumerals.So in our own system the number 538 is not the same as 835, but in the Egyptian system it could be identical - because it was written with the signs for 5x100, 3x10 and 8x1 and it would mean the same if written in reverse (8 units, 3 tens and 5 hundreds).This explains why no zero was required - simply leaving out one kind of numeric sign meant the absence of that particular value.

Nup.
as a verb, describing word "Back in the days of ancient Rome...." "Ancient artifacts have shown...." "Ancient civilizations lived off of...."
It is the number system that we use today, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 , if that helps.
The Maya numeral system is a vigesimal (base-twenty) positional numeral system used by the Pre-Columbian Maya civilization.
It derives from an ancient Arabic source, itself based on counting on fingers/thumbs and is the international norm. In ancient times, the Babylonians used base 60, but, successful though it was, the decimal system is less cumbersome.
Many ancient cultures had not invented fractions in their number system. The number 60 was chosen because it have many factors. We use relics of it today when reading the time. 60 seconds to a minute, 60 minutes to an hour.
The base
because it did
The ancient Egyptian number system is no longer in use.
They use a base 10 system

Sexagesimal as used in ancient Mesopotamia was not a pure base 60 system, in the sense that it didn't use 60 distinct symbols for its digits. Instead, the cuneiform digits used ten as a sub-base in the fashion of a sign-value notation: a sexagesimal digit was composed of a group of narrow wedge-shaped marks representing units up to nine.
Ancient numerical systems are the number systems that ancient civilisations used, we now use 0123456789 as digits to make up any numbers, but, for example, the ancient romans used IVX ect. and the mayas used .|D . Different number systems also used different bases, we have a base 10 meaning that we go into double digits at 10 but Roman Numerals dont have a base but insted write I for 1 and then II for 2 and mayas would have a combination where . meant 1, .. meant 2 but then 20 would be when they started using D which was 0.
NO the ancient greece did
