回答: 中國古代數學到底有多落後?? 由 VOLTES 于 2008-04-28, 08:22:36:

The oldest written records in the world are in Sumerian and are about 5000 years old. The next oldest written records are from Egyptian (NOT Arabic) and are about 4500 years old. Sumerian died out a couple thousand years after its first records, but Egyptian survived for about 4000 years until its daughter, Coptic, went extinct as a spoken language. Aramaic (which is NOT a parent of Arabic, but a cousin) has written records that are about 3000 years old. The oldest records of Sanskrit, Old Tamil, and Old Chinese are about 2500 years old. The oldest records of Greek are about 3500 years old and the oldest records of Latin are about 2700 years old. The oldest records of Hebrew are about 2700 years old (you are incorrect about the "after the death of Christ" statement), although there are written records of the ancestor language of Hebrew (Proto-Northwest Semitic) that date to about 3500 years ago. The oldest records of Arabic are only about 1500 years old.
