Why only Arabs (or Hindus, i guess, if you are islamophobic) were smart enough to invent a concept of Zero? Not romans, not greeks, not chinsese...?

The Greeks invented a dedicated symbol for 0, not the Hindus or Arabs. more specifically the so-called " Hellenistic zero" was invented by Ptolemy for his Syntaxis Mathematica, but he was likely inspired by the earlier Babylonians, who did have a concept for 0 but did not have a symbol for it, rather they simply left an empty space between numbers to indicate 0

Arabs didn't invent shit

Aryans were brainwashed by Islam

Speaking Arabic =! being Arabic

Other civilizations had math, astronomy, and trade, but technical barriers prevented independent invention of zero as a full-fledged number.
