Timekeeping
Ancient civilizations were obsessed with timekeeping and astronomy.
Most if not all of the math is base six mathematics. Why is that? Why do we still use base six math in our clocks? The oldest civilizations don't offer much explanation as far as I know, they just say 'our gods taught us to do it this way.' If anyone knows more about this subject feel free to explain. meanwhile I'll do a little research into it.

Re: Timekeeping
There is a book called civilization one that talks about how measurements were derived. It is a little text bookish, but has a bunch of good information.
