In his classic Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, author Charles Hapgood rightly surmised that the ancients used a sexagesimal (base sixty like our modern timekeeping) number system to somehow measure and map remote parts of the world previously thought unknown to Europeans until the 1700’s, but Hapgood didn’t know by what methodology the ancients established that sexagesimal geometric (earth measure) method, yet now we do know, see the general explanation here under the Page titled Great Pyramid for Navigation and more at the Genesis Veracity Foundation under category Earth Measure Geometry.
