Egyptian Numbers

I've been learning about different numbering systems from around the world and ancient times.  It's very interesting to see different ways and techniques used to count.  Some systems have a numbering system where it matters the order the symbols or numbers are placed.

For example the Egyptian numbering system uses a series of lines for numbers 1 through 9 and then symbols for 10 on, as shown in the picture. In the Egyptian numbering system, the order does not matter in which the symbols are entered. So, i could write line, astonished man or astonished man, line and it would mean the same thing, 1,000,001. Learning about different numbering systems was very intriguing.
