In ancient Mesopotamia, the number system was primarily base-60 (sexagesimal), which is why we have 60 seconds in a minute and 360 degrees in a circle today. They also used a base-10 (decimal) system for some purposes. Measurements included units like the "cubits" for length and "mina" for weight, reflecting their sophisticated understanding of trade and construction. This system laid the groundwork for various aspects of mathematics and timekeeping in later civilizations.
