All we can know is what we don’t know.
The Library at Alexandria was wiped out. How much ancient knowledge was destroyed?

Whp wiped out the LaA?
Al Sharpton’s family is from Babylonia, donchaknow. They invented jet engines, airplanes, the alphabet, chemistry and lots of other stuff. They were gazillionaires but the white man took it all away!
I guess apparently a sexagesimal system does makes sense — if someone is trying to build an accurate trigonometric table. Even without aliens.
Done stoled it right out they heads, they did, all that knowledge.
YUP, and Al Sharpton’s ancestors invented the Internet 3500 years ago.... the white man stole it and hid it until deciding to take credit for it and make all the money.
Something tells me that Dr. Mansfield was born with a hoo-hoo, regardless of whatever might be residing in place of it now.
“Done stoled it right out they heads, they did, all that knowledge.”
An dat be true!
I want to come back and read through this when I am not completely burnt out.
IMO it was recreated by the Greeks.
This is an interesting view:

“ “This gives us a different way of looking at trigonometry. One that’s really just passed on ratios. And the beautiful thing about it is that it’s much simpler,” Dr Mansfield told AM.
“It only involves ratios, you don’t need to study trigonometry through angles: sin, cosx, tan and irrational numbers. You can do it with just ratios.” “
This makes no logical sense. Calculations of what are more accurate? And as long as one is using integers, there is always a point at which dividing by three leads to an indefinable number, no matter what the starting number is. Now, if one chooses to use other types of numbers--for instance, fractions--many more opportunities for accurate calculations come up. And a whole lot of messiness can be avoided by using pi in one's calculations.
>> The sexagesimal system never made much sense for people who had five fingers on each hand. But if the Sumerians were taught math by ET visitors who had six fingers on each hand...
60/5 = 12
360/60 = 6
60/12 = 5
They did have a logic to the system, but clearly the metric system turned out to be much more comprehensible.

There are tons of great information on the history of mathematics at your fingertips. I found this book extremely awesome, A History Of Pi by Petr Beckmann - https://books.google.co.jp/books?id=10jABQAAQBAJ.
Well 60 has many more factors than 10 and it made calculations easier for a lot of common calculations. That is the reason a clock has 60 minutes and why we sell in units of 12 (a dozen) and a circle has 360 degrees.
