What? were Babylonians Black, gay, m*slim, transsexual or peanut allergic? is this great because the Greeks are White?
I don’t care, and there is no proof that the Greeks didn’t develop it first.

Interesting tablet.
But I hope everyone caught the “typo” in the fourteenth row (third column).

And why did they need such a base 60 math system in the first place? Or was it a remnant of a previous civilization as yet undiscovered?

Mesopotamian civilization was totally unknown (outside the Bible) until a couple of centuries ago. It was the first since it had the first cities. We have just begun to scratch the surface of it.
Unfortunately, there was near constant war between these cities then empires which wound up weakening it so badly that the Persians under Cyrus (with the aid of the Jews from the Babylonian Captivity) destroyed it.
Civilizations have almost always been destroyed by invaders from the North. Ours may be unique.

“The huge mystery, until now, was its purpose - why the ancient scribes carried out the complex task of generating and sorting the numbers on the tablet.”
Because it would have been much more painful to all if it was in suppository form. And a tablet would be much easier to read.
