RE: Expert Decodes Ancient Sumerian Tablets

so maybe a 12-based number system is superior to a 10-based number system who would have known? Maybe the people who made our calendars and time and that is the reason while 12 is a popular number in ancient cultures...

I don't think a number system that is based on how many fingers you have is the brightest idea, just a very popular one.

Sort:  

But it sure raises some questions about how the primitive man came up with that...
That is not something what we can explain away with coincidence...
I don't know how or what, but out of the blue they came up with all kind of things, that is weird and unexplainable.
