See Chinese, we have 1234 as 一二三四. Funny to think that we humans may have been programmed a fixed limit of RAM, we can only process three lines without counting LOL～
Note to self: I think learning just the number systems 1-101 for a bunch of languages would be a really cool party trick so I could always say I know a little bit of each language and just write 3 or 4 different numbers or ask the person to pick a number 1-100 or as I'd learnt 101 I could probably go a bit beyond. Additionally, knowing how the characters work for a given language is important, like with cuneiform [pronounced cune-iform apparently?] I know that 1 character is made up of multiple lines and it seems that they are slightly more complex sounds more like syllables like "ra" instead of "r" just from looking up the numbers and I understand the basic different methods of writing it etc. Whereas when I look at a Chinese character I don't understand if it's a word unto itself or if its just a sound or if its a syllable or such. 2:57 So it's literally just rotated 45 degrees and the reed is more evenly pushed into the clay?
I follow how the positional system explained here allows you to write 59 or 61 without the need for a 0, but how do you distinguish a 60 from a 1 without a modifier? Does it follow the form of 50 as shown and then change?
Huh, simple, straightforward and pedagogical. Not to mention interesting. So in practice you only need to learn the symbols for 1 and 10, and the rest follows naturally?
why wouldn't you modify the font so that it's written with the same amount of strokes as when it's written with a stylus in clay? I cant understand needing to know that deepest part of the make, but that's pretty much like how Hanzi has the little mark at the beginning of the stroke because of the brush, so when using a pen we just simulate the stroke with a little pull to the side rather than makin an fat outline where that mark would be if we were using a brush, yknow?
The system, as presented here, is very ambiguous since there are different interpretations for each representation. There must be some sort of sign or separating space for positions in the base 60 positional system, as in any positional number system, as in the usual decimal or binary systems. If this aspect is not clarified, the system is useless because it is not well defined.
"useless" haha, Babylonians were among the best astronomers in history thanks to their base 60 system. Numberphile has a video explaining the 'missing 0' I think though.
@@Dj2xP I think that they're saying that here the positional system used by the Babylonians isn't explained as clearly. Because we know that if you wanted to mean "60" instead of "1", there had to be some space; to identify the different positions (which defined if that was a "1" or a "60"). In another comment you answered, you even mention the lines used to identify those columns; which is also a very important thing to remember about this system (and that wasn't mentioned). He probably meant that in this video that, and other facts were vaguely explained.
After about 2000 BCE they adopted a place holder of three vertical strokes in interior columns where there would be a zero. In the final column of a number, however, they didn't use it, for some reason. It was a blank space. Note that there are columns after the units for decimals/fractions !/60's, !/3600s, etc.
If you watch to the end of the video you'll see that it's a positional system, meaning that where each wedge is placed determines which type of unit it represents. A single-wedge to the left of a ten-wedge means it represents a unit of 60, while a single-unit to the right of a ten-wedge means it represents a unit of 1.
Is this related to the Babylonian way of counting on their fingers? Using your right thumb as a pointer, count the three segments of your pinkie 1,2,3, then the three segments on your third finger, 4,5,6, then the three segments of your right middle finger, 7,8,9, three rows of three segments, just as in the cuneiform.
@yaoifanXXkaya The 60 looks like a 1 just like the 1 in 100 looks like a 1. 100 is really 1 hundreds, 0 tens, 0 ones: 100. It's nearly the same in Babylonian, except instead of base 10, it's base 60 with a base 10 within it. The 1h 24 minutes example is more easily understood as 84 minutes. So you have 1 sixty, 2 tens, 4 ones: 84. The 1 in front of two 10s is 60, just like 1 hour = 60 minutes. 1h 24m means 60m + 24m. This is all pretty simple stuff when it comes down to it.
@@bushchat28d That's because in their day they wrote on little clay stones that fit in their hand and they would not start 1 in the middle of the stone. Considering this I believe it would be easy to identify if it was 1 or 60. Also when looking at photos, a lot of times they draw column lines which also helps indicate the positional value of the horizontal mark.
It depends on how they were written: a reed to write on a clay tablet. Depending on how you incline your reed, you have a different kind of mark left on the tablet.
@@ChameeraDedduwage where did those "10"s come from? 2-10 would be 2×60 +10 = 130 and 1-10-1 would be 1×60 + 10 + 1 = 71 There was an ambiguity. 3 could mean 3, 180,.1080 etc 61 would use space to indicate no tens. 1 1 Not a perfect system and it led to mistakes. It would be easy to tweak the system by having a zero, or a vertical line between "digits", and maybe a sexagesimal point. I don't know why they didn't do either. They could generate huge pythagorean triples but not divide by 7. A lot about their mathematics is very alien.
INteresting. I've been very curious about the origins of math, systems of measurements and other things. But I have a Q. She just said... 60, just like we count minutes and seconds... and degrees of angles? But I thought degrees of angles divided within 360. Why would she say 60?
A full circle is divided into 6*60=360 degrees (there is 60 in there also, but that's beside the point). Every one of those degrees is divided further into 60 minutes, (similar to the time of one hour). Every one of those minutes is divided into 60 seconds (again similar to the time of 1 minute is 60 seconds). Check out the location of places on the globe (if you believe in such a thing) E.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London in the top right, written in very small letters I see this: Coordinates: 51°30′26″N 0°7′39″W that means 51degrees, 30 minutes, 26 seconds North, and zero degrees, 7 minutes and 39 seconds West. ( Applies to a spherical-globe view of the world ). I am not suggesting at all that you would hold a belief contrary to this, I just could not resist for the sake of humour.
Oh ok. Ya. So either they knew or suspected that the earth was spherical or maybe they inherited this system from a culture or civilization that knew it. I'm reading "Uriel's Machine" by Christopher Knight. He talks about the 360 system and about evidence that suggests even more ancient cultures already knew the polar and equatorial circumferences of earth. To a fairly hi degree of accuracy.
Also interesting is how when you take 360 and double it, you get 720. 72 is supposedly the number of years it takes a star to move 1 degree in the sky. Double that and you get 144. 144,000 is the number of days in a Maya baktun one of the diff calendars. These number always add up to 9 aswell. Any number like 72, 36 or 144 whose digits add up to 9 are therefore divisible by 9 or 3. (also i think the Maya used another calendar that was 270 days... about the time of human gestation?)
Hiya! Hope you're well! I ran your comment a few times over in my head. I'm now learning this and I just done this on paper, I got this. 1 vertical mark, 5 tens and 1 ten = 120. Tell me if you understood that.
Can some explain to me why they switch symbols after 9? Why did they consider that as being the limit for repeating the flags? I would assume it has to do with how we got to the decimal system because of 10 digits on our hands but idk why they've done the same if they're in base 60. Thanks.

That's because if you just put a bunch of vertical lines together, it gets confusing really quick. As you pointed out, it is a base 60 system, but with a hint of decimal system inside.

First Civilization was Sumerian, and they were not "Arabs"; also Babylonians were not "Arabs". "Arabs" were a separated ethnic group, and lived in the area south of Mesopotamia. Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians regularly have commerce with them. You're confused because Mesopotamia corresponds to modern day Iraq.

@@updown9697 i feel that you hate arabs, is that true ?
@@iliayttuzine3482 nope, I'm just saying trying to say the truth that Babylonians were not arab because the Babylonians today are modern day Iraqi and Iraqis are not arab by blood it's only by culture so it's mean they're arabinized not arab by blood so Babylonians were not arab since that time Arabs from gulf never conquer modern day Iraq in that time
