their unique base 60 number system means that only some Pythagorean shapes can be used,”

This has been longly fascinating to me. Base 60 is so central to so much today. Pretty soon it will be called white supremacist, or racist.
60 minutes (both in time and in angles)
60 seconds (see above)
360 days in a year (close enough, and it is possible that the years got longer, IMO)
24 hours goes into 60 exactly 2.5 times (under the old math from my youth)
360 degrees in a circle
These people were not primitive and barbaric as we were frequently told. In fact, mankind has been going downhill from the Creation described in the Book of Genesis.
Good day!
All our modern clocks use Base 60....................
