Megan, thank you for sharing about the two hour time periods connected to animals in Ancient Chinese telling time. I also like your point about only needing two cuneiform symbols for a base 60 system. Did you know that we have three bones in our feet that we call cuneiform in English?

ReplyDeleteHi Susan, thanks for your comment. It is interesting and I didn't know these bones in our feet called cuneiform in English.I learned one more word :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda and Megan! I'm fascinated to hear about these bones with this interesting wedge-shaped name. I will look this up!
