πŸ‘© Today I’ll tell you why an hour has 60 minutes.
πŸ‘¦ Why 60? Isn’t 100 easier?
πŸ‘© France thought that too and tried changing time.
πŸ‘¦ Really? Then why didn’t it stay?
πŸ‘© People found it too confusing and hard to use.
πŸ‘¦ Who chose 60 first?
πŸ‘© The ancient Sumerians started using it long ago.
πŸ‘¦ Why 60?
πŸ‘© Because it’s easy to divide into many numbers.
πŸ‘¦ So that became time?
πŸ‘© Yes, later Egypt and Babylon shaped it into what we use now.
πŸ‘¦ Can we change it now?
πŸ‘© It’s very hard because the whole world uses it.
