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)
