Is the Number 100 Important?

In other cultures, for example, they don't even have numbers around ten. A hundred is the way we designate very precisely a certain type of quantity that in other cultures may be just something like many or a lot. Until not so long ago in human history, before some groups invented writing, probably a lot of the quantities were just referred as that. So in that sense, the idea of a hundred being precise and important, soe one didn't even exist.
