Yes, it would appear so.
the Arabs. they also gave us the word 'al kuhl' which became alcohol. lol
Zero is a placeholder. The Ancient Chinese used it, the ancient Egyptians used it, ancient India and the Arabs used it. The word came into English from Italian zero.
There was a mini series on BBC3 or 4 recentlyabout the history of maths. My memories not great but I think zero was instituted first in India.
I believe the Aztecs mathematicians were first to have a concept of zero and negative numbers.
The ancient Egyptians did not have a number zero. The Mayans knew the number zero and the Indians also knew (independent from another). The Indians passed it on to the Arabs and the Arabs brought it to the Mediterranean and later all of Europe.
The "zero".
The zero was invented in northern India and passed on to Europe by Arabs.
Egyptians!!! The concept of zero was invented by the ancient Indians, google 'Shunya'. Also the modern decimal system was invented in ancient India, and passed along to the west by Arabs.
Some mathematics and the number zero.
The concept of zero
Probably in Arabia in ancient times. The Arabs were the first to introduce the concept of 'zero'.

Maths and the concept of zero by Aryabhatta
India. The Arabs adopted a few of the Indian's mathematic innovations which is why it zero is included within the "Arabic" numerals. I believe zero was also independently created by the Mayans at some point after the Indians did.

the concept of zero was and as far as i can tell always will be made up in ancient India. if you don't believe me LOOK IT UP
I consider the concept of Zero as a had a profound influence on mathematics. This concept comes to us from ancient India, via the Arabs. Literally 'leave a space' and in the script of the time, pronounced as siff (?). [From which we derive cipher!]Fibonacci introduced the concept to Italy, and hence Europe around 1200+/- A.D.Other contributors would have different answers.The same scholar, Pingala, in the 2nd century AD, also developed or records a binary method of counting.
