Because it's easy to pass out 60 things equally to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 15, 20, or 30 people
without the need to find somebody who understands fractions.
The ancient measurement system of which applied to early greeks, romans, egyptians, arabs, and parts of Gaul and Spain; Is Shinto.
The primary problem with ancient measurement systems was that there were a lot of different ones. No countries or nations as we know them today existed in ancient times, but there were numerous geographic areas that were generally under one rule, and most, if not all, of these areas had their own measurement system. Imagine the lack of communication that existed at that time, and even if one group of peoples did communicate with another group, imagine the timeliness of the communication compounded by the lack of a common language.
The measurement system, which was used in Europe before the metric system was the Roman and Anglo-Saxon measurement systems. Examples are acre, furlong and yard.
The basis for a calendar.
Ancient numerical systems are the number systems that ancient civilisations used, we now use 0123456789 as digits to make up any numbers, but, for example, the ancient romans used IVX ect. and the mayas used .|D . Different number systems also used different bases, we have a base 10 meaning that we go into double digits at 10 but Roman Numerals dont have a base but insted write I for 1 and then II for 2 and mayas would have a combination where . meant 1, .. meant 2 but then 20 would be when they started using D which was 0.
The English system and the metric system.

Many ancient cultures had not invented fractions in their number system. The number 60 was chosen because it have many factors. We use relics of it today when reading the time. 60 seconds to a minute, 60 minutes to an hour.

The two main systems of measurement are the metric system and the imperial system. The metric system is based on units such as meters, grams, and liters, while the imperial system uses units like feet, pounds, and gallons. Other systems include the US customary system and the International System of Units (SI).
seah are in the bible for measurement
The two systems of measurement include the English system which is based on the foot measurements, and the Metric system based on the Meter as the unit of reference.
They are both systems of measurement except that the metric system is simpler and used by the majority of the world.
