<P> The system of ancient Egyptian numerals was used in Ancient Egypt from around 3000 BC until the early first millennium AD . It was a system of numeration based on multiples of ten , often rounded off to the higher power , written in hieroglyphs . The Egyptians had no concept of a place - valued system such as the decimal system . The hieratic form of numerals stressed an exact finite series notation , ciphered one to one onto the Egyptian alphabet . </P>
