Why time is 60 minutes, why not 100 minutes or 10 minutes or any other number, as well as minutes, why not 100 seconds? Hence why today is not the division of the number of hours differently? Thanks in the division today for parts of the smaller Egyptian ancient where they first section today through the use of "Sundials" that define the time by using the sun and shade, and Muslims used to determine prayer times.
But thanks for the time that we use now of the Babylonian civilization in Iraq and the reason for system use sexagenarian system in determining the time simply is that the counting system which was inherited from the Sumerian civilization that invented the counting system sexagenarian. Which is a system depends on the number "6" and not a number "10" as now we rely in our decimal, and despite that based on the number "6" count systems do not use now, but we still see them in time system and the angles (360 degrees) as well.
It is worth mentioning that France used the decimal system in the calculation of the time and the days after the French Revolution for several years, where he was the week of 10 days and 10 hours a day and time of 100 minutes, and so on, but once again the system sexagenarian.
