When you count from one to two you skip an infinite amount of numbers.
The first known counting system was developed by the Sumerians in Mesopotamia around 4000 BC. This system was created in order to keep track of economic transactions and was based on the number 60.
The number 60 was chosen because it is a highly composite number, meaning it has many divisors. This made it useful for counting and dividing into smaller parts. Additionally, the Sumerian base-60 counting system was used to keep track of time, which is why we still use 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute.
