Today, the Sumerian counting system is not directly used, but its influence can be seen in modern timekeeping and measurements. The Sumerians utilized a base-60 (sexagesimal) system, which is why we have 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Additionally, the concept of dividing a circle into 360 degrees also traces back to Sumerian mathematics. While the language and counting methods have faded, their numerical legacy persists in our everyday lives.
