someone in Greece invented number one and the Romans stole it from them It was actually the Mayans, thousands of years ago, who invented the number system, which included the number 1. Though, it was not called 'one', nor was it written as '1', the Mayan word for 'one' and symbol for '1' meant the same thing as the modern day '1'. Although we know the Mayans made the number one, there are other possible civilizations, like the Greeks, that could have also invented the number one. There is no solid proof, but the general public accepts the Mayans as the inventor of the number one.
