Crashfrog,

Do they? Plenty of cultures create artifacts that have "mathematical" properties (weaving patterns, etc) but that's simply indicative that we apply mathematics as a description to patterns. The culture itself certainly has no knowledge of the processes of math.
​
Pointless off topic nonsense coming up.........
​
There is a "culture" that can only count to four. Integers beyond four are known by the phrase "hrair", which generally means many, or thousand. Hence their God is known as El-Ahrairah, or Prince with a thousand enemies.
​
Bonus points to the first who can tell me where this culture exists.

Re: bonus points here I come
Zephyr,
​
A golden star is winging it's way towards you as I write. By coincidence I just reread it too, & I also get, ahem, dust in my eye, when Hazel leaves his body behind because he no longer needs it......
​
I feel no shame at all when I tell you this is my favourite book of all time. Wonderful stuff.
