> I'm in full agreement that base-10 is not as practical nor useful as base-12, considering 12 has four divisors and 10 has only two divisors. Also, God in the Bible seems to promote the superior concept of defining things by units of Twelve (though I really can't understand why Seven is also a desirable number representing 'perfect' completion.)

As I understand it, reckoning from the POV of a human(as well as other living beings)...

1-4: The 4 cardinal directions.

5-6: Up and Down.

7: One's own center.

If I can get to my copy of "The Mystery of the Menorah and the Hebrew Alphabet", I can perhaps explain it better.

Interesting Query: If we used a system for which 10 is neither a factor nor a multiple(say, 7), would we still count on our fingers the same way?
