The Maya numeral system originates in the preclassic Maya civilisation. By 36 BCE they had independently developed the concept of zero (as had their neighbours), but their written language extends as far back as the 4th century BCE, which is almost as old as Zapotec, the oldest written language in the Americas (circa 5th or 6th century BCE).
The Maya numeral system was base-20 (vigesimal) and base-5, with 20 independent symbols made up of dots (repeatedly cycling 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) and bars (one bar for 5-9, two for 10-14, three for 15-19). Due to the vertically aligned positional nature of the symbols, addition and subtraction were fairly straightforward computations compared with the mental gymnastics required by the Roman system.
The Mayan number system is vigesimal (based on twenties)The Roman number system is decimal (based on tens)

the Mayan and Chinese are the oldest.
Nothing really it just diffrent shapes.
There are many reasons why the Mayan and the Hindu Arabic number systems are different some of these are why.The Mayan number System has a place value and a non place value system and the Hindu Arabic number system has a place value system.Their based numbers are different, the Mayans is 20 and the Hindu Arabic is 10.The Mayan number system only has three symbols, and the Hindu Arabic number system has up to ten symbols including the zero.Hindu Arabic number system reads or makes it from left to right on the Mayan number system you make or read it from top to bottom.The Mayans also didn't have the concept of fractionThe similarities are that both number systems have a symbol for zero and that both number systems could do addition and subtraction even if it was difficult in the Mayan system
the Mayan number system is called the Hieroglyphics, they thought that zero counted as a number, so they put that zero into the counting system... i hope this answer helps
