Archeologists, scientists, historians, etc. have stumbled over this question many a time before so don't thin you're the first to wonder. Some think it originated in the lands of the Neanderthals or Cromagnons but no one knows for sure. But we do know that the Neanderthals are responsible for the 60 minute hour and 60 minute second. They also are credited for inventing a twelve month calendar with four seasons, although the Egyptians also invented a twelve month calendar but it divided into only three months.
But as proved Egyptian were the first......... They invented *Zero* and they only have had taken the headache of maths, and now it's ruining our life :'(
