Mesurements were recorded long before what is generally recognised as civilisation. The oldest evidence of measured information being recorded comes from the Aurignacian culture, which was present in Europe approximately 30,000 years ago.
The inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilization (3000-1500 BC. Mature period 2600-1900 BC) developed a sophisticated procedure of standardization, using weights and measures, evident by the excavations made at the Indus valley sites.[1] Thistechnical standardization enabled gauging devices to be effectively used in angular measurement and measurement for construction. Calibration was also found in measuring devices along with multiple subdivisions in case of some devices.[1]
The earliest known uniform systems of weights and measures seem all to have been created at some time in the 4th and 3rd millennia BC among the ancient peoples of Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley, and perhaps also Elam (in Iran) as well. The most astounding of these ancient systems was perhaps that of the Indus Valley Civilization (ca. 2600 BC). The Indus Valley peoples achieved great accuracy in measuring length, mass, and time. Their measurements were extremely precise since their smallest division, which is marked on an ivory scale found in Lothal, was approximately 1.704 mm (1/16 inch), the smallest division ever recorded on a scale of the Bronze Age. The decimal system was thought to be used but in fact, feet and inches are a more accurate indication of the measure used. The measuring devices found in the Indus Valley actually meet the standards used in South Indian architecture and engineering which are feet and inches. In Tamil Nadu, the inch is used in architectural forms per traditional Vaastu Shastras. Traditional architectural forms are built to 1/16 of an inch which is the smallest unit of measure found in the Indus Valley. In addition, the "yard sticks" used in Indus Valley (and in Tamil Nadu) measure exactly 33 inches and are divided into 24 units of 1⅜ inches. The 1⅜ inch is considered to be an angula. A unit of measure 33 inches long is called a hasta, kishku or muzam. A half hasta was also found in the Indus Valley measuring exactly 16½ inches (12 angula at 1⅜ inches). This measure is currently used by traditional architects such as Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati who comes from an ancient tradition of Shilpis. The discovery of the relationship between Indus Valley measurement (using feet and inches rather than metric measure) and current and traditional Indian architecture per Vaastu Shastras was made by Dr. Jessie J. Mercay, Chancellor of The American University of Mayonic Science and Technology.
Weights were based on units of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500, with each unit weighing approximately 28 grams, similar to the English ounce or Roman uncia, and smaller objects were weighed in similar ratios with the units of 0.871.
Other systems were based on the use of parts of the body and the natural surroundings as measuring instruments. Ancient Indian measurements related to the body are corelated to the finger measure of 1⅜ inch. This measure is found throughout the human body in increments. It is the measure used to build ancient temples and is precisely related to the Indus Valley measuring devices. Early Babylonian and Egyptian records and The Bible indicate that length was first measured with the forearm, hand, or finger and that time was measured by the periods of the sun, moon, and other heavenly bodies. When it was necessary to compare the capacities of containers such as gourds or clay or metal vessels, they were filled with plant seeds which were then counted to measure the volumes. When means for weighing were invented, seeds and stones served as standards. For instance, the carat, still used as a unit for gems, was derived from the carob seed.

From observations or experiments
Measurements are 105mm x 297mm
How does measurements relate to experimental science
Measurements are an example of collecting data. Measurements are usually done to aid in the research of an object or subject and in calculating it's mass or quantity.
Making careful sketches and Taking careful measurements
homosexuals
egyptians
According to archaelogical records, the Egyptians were the first to use measurements. They measured the depth of the Nile.
No civilization can exist without some form of measurement nor record keeping. It therefore follows that the first to have a written language would be the first to record measurement. The contenders for this are : -- The Chinese (records begin around 1600 BC, but culture much older) -- The Sumerians or Akkadians (Uruk records dated to before 2900 BC) -- The Egyptians (records exist from 3200 BC)
greek civilization
Gather Information then observation and careful measurements are made then last of all record information
Units and Numbers ~ Good luck
I dont know foo
Metric
Mesopotamia, which means "land between the rivers" is located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
Because of the many things that appeared in a civilization that needed to be recorded.
No he did not create the first civilization
