Oh, so much of it is under sand for so long. Like, the temple of... the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut was mostly under sand for a long, long time. Wow. Before they, like, uncovered it. And fortunately, like, the aridness of Egypt... preserves things like crazy.

Yeah. Numbers are tricky in ancient languages because β It's not entirely clear whether numbers are meant to be representational.

Yeah, that's part of it. I mean, you have that and you have the Sumerian king lists, which have people living hundreds and thousands of years too. And I mean, there are some interesting academic articles on like the probability of the numbers that come up in those. Because we have a base 10 counting system because we count our fingers.

Ancient Near Eastern cultures like the Babylonians, the Akkadians, the Assyrians, they had a base 12 counting system because they would count each hinge or whatever you call these, like spaces, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.

Marc Thiessen Yeah, the joints. That's what I was looking for. Trevor Burrus Yeah. And so that's why we have 360 degrees in a circle, 365 days in a year. Like this comes from the Mesopotamian counting conventions. And you look at some of these lists and they're operational and all divisible by like 12 and 60. And you're like, what's going on here?
