12 Signs of the Zodiac. 12 Months in a year. The day is divided into 2x12 hours 12 of light 12 of dark. 12 Inches in a foot The planet is 24000 miles at the equator. Or 2x12000. 60 minutes an hour, or 60 seconds a minute. 5x12 is 60.

There would seem to be a lost system of caculus based on a duodecimal system.

The giants of antiquity are said to have had 12 fingers.

Tesla said there is magic in 3 6 and 9. Perhaps if 12 is added in this means something.

12 is the lowest number with a high number of factors: 1,2,3,4,6,12. Multiplication tables are regular in base 12 math.

Something important was lost a long time ago, but we have traces in our day to day lives.
