acho que vem de uma história sobre medição de ângulos:
"...The Angle-Circle Connection. Most historians think that the ancient Babylonians believed that the "circle" of the year consisted of 360 days. This is not a bad approximation given the crudeness of the ancient astronomical tools. Historians of mathematics also generally believe that the ancient Babylonians knew that the side of a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle is equal in length to the radius of the circle. This may have suggested to them a division of the full circle (360 "days") into six equal parts, each part consisting of 60 "days" as shown below..."
