@sickburnbro babylonian is closer to base 60 than base 12
60 has a lot of divisors so you can avoid fractions
everybody adopted that because it makes a load of sense for anything circle related like angles, or even time
the metric people never suggest moving time to base 10 because that would be nuts
"what time is it?"
"it's 7.33333333333333"
"let's just kill ourselves"
