THE REMARKABLE EVOLUTION

Witness the incredible 3000-year journey from manual calculator to cognitive development tool

~300-500 BC

Ancient Beginnings

The word "Abacus" originates from Greek 'abax' meaning 'tabular form', potentially derived from Semitic 'abq' meaning 'sand'. This primitive calculating device emerged as humanity's first step towards organized mathematics.
