Fun fact. if you use your knucklebones to count instead of fingers, and you use multiplication instead of addition you can get to 144 counting on your fingers. (i.e. one digit on the second hand is equal to a full hand- 12- on the first.)
yeah. some bullshit about that being why we have 12 hours, and 12 inches in a foot, is totally going into those golden tablets.
(IIRC, we have 12 hours because there was 10 hours of daylight in Egypt, and an hour on either end for twilight. that evolved into the 24 hour system we have today.)
I think I’ll call my new religion BullcrapBulk’rap bulq’rap.
eh.
