"Many ancient cultures used the three segments of each finger to count to 12 on one hand, writes Georges Ifrah in his book, “The Universal History of Numbers” (Wiley, 2000; translated by David Bello). It is hypothesized 60 arose from using five fingers of one hand with the twelve segments of the other."

I personally don't buy this. Why? Because our number system evolved in base 10. Only things related to astronomy, time, etc ("advanced math" at that time) is in base 12. To me this indicates two sources of knowledge. Perhaps the basic math evolved amongst Humans in base 10, and the "borrowed" knowledge came from beings who used base 12.
We'll have to agree to disagree then.
Thats the beauty of this place. We can always disagree and still be frens!
Indeed.
