Mesopotamian units refer to the measurement systems used in ancient Mesopotamia, a region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These units included various forms of measurement for length, area, volume, and weight, which were essential for trade, agriculture, and construction. Common units included the cubit for length and the shekel for weight. The Mesopotamians developed a base-60 system, influencing how they measured time and angles. This system is still evident today in our 60-minute hour and 360-degree circle. Their advanced understanding of mathematics and measurement laid the groundwork for future civilizations and scientific advancements.
