No, it was invented by Indians. If you check your history, you will learn
that the first evidence of the existence of the zero was in Gwalior, India
(which by amazing coincidence is where I was born ;-). The Arabs "borrowed"
the Indian numbering system and eventually got credit for inventing it.
Enough said.
