On my trip to India I visited the Chaturbhuj Temple in Orchha to see the earliest recording of the number zero. The trip to Orchha from Agra was at the least interesting as the road that was constructed by a company of Gadaffy was never finished after his death. The last part from Gwalior to Orchha is only 125 kilometers and will take more than three hours. You can imagine my disappointment when I found out that there is no recording of the number zero in the Chaturbhuj Temple in Orchha. There are no statues, no paintings nothing. So my driver joked: there’s your zero! Nothing here.

After watching the Youtube video of the Story of Maths & the genius of India, witch took a long time whith the 3G internet connection, we discovered it was in Gwalior! The name of the temple is the same, but in Gwalior. We took the same road back the next morning and found it on the access road to the Gwalior Fort. So after my return I corrected the Chaturbhuj Temple (Orchha) page and the Gwalior Fort page.

Kind regards,
