Have you wondered why 60 seconds were chosen to compose a minute, and 60 minutes for an hour, why base six among the other numerals? Timekeeping for nautical mile measure (arc seconds/arc minutes) is by precise measure with modern instrumentation of rate of the sun’s movement during a day, a relatively short period of time, but that the ancients measured a much slower rate for geometry (earth measure), the precession rate of the earth’s axis, they were able to use simple instrumentation such as the Dixon Relict and Celtic Cross (see Page titled Great Pyramid for Navigation).
