30 Why did so many of our oldest counting systems use base-12? Because the gods these cultures worshipped had 6 fingers, and they were the source of the knowledge of numeracy (according to Enoch and other sources) (media.scored.co) posted 1 year ago by Graphenium 1 year ago by Graphenium +31 / -1 46 comments share 46 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Sumerians used base 60, the original human civilization.
Base 12 is a derivative of 60 by five.
Let that sink in.
Then the gematria are in base 10 so what gives?
If we are talking fingers and toes? How many do you have? I have five each. 5×12=60. Base 60 ÷ Base 12 = FIVE.
