家园 维基的说法是4400~4800年前苏美尔人有了60进制

更恐怖的是有了连续进位的概念。太雷人了。当然,有争议的也许是也许是古巴比伦人。注意, 维基承认这些都是“也许”“ may have used xxxx"

The period 2700–2300 BC saw the first appearance of the Sumerian abacus, a table of successive columns which delimited the successive orders of magnitude of their sexagesimal number system.[6]

Some scholars point to a character from the Babylonian cuneiform which may have been derived from a representation of the abacus.[7] It is the belief of Carruccio (and other Old Babylonian scholars) that Old Babylonians "may have used the abacus for the operations of addition and subtraction; however, this primitive device proved difficult to use for more complex calculations".[8]
