360 is base 60. (6*60)

Like minutes and seconds.

The 12 hours in a day and the 12 months are also 60 / 5.

This all connects to ancient Mesopotamia somehow.

I guess, for a sufficiently large value of 12.

Yes, the original day was 12 hours. (Hence the legacy of "AM" and "PM" that some countries still use.)
