I think one could uncover many references to counting and numerical
measurement in the Old Testament (eg., Noah was given numerical
specifications for the ark).

That history lecturer from UCLA seemed to say tonight that in the Middle
Ages people paid little attention to counting let alone arithmetic -- and
that there is not much value in the numbers eg time spans -- given in
historical accounts.
When did counting begin?
When did simple arithmetic begin?
