Original AI Prompt
Generate & Play Hailuo AI video：The Babylonians practiced writing numbers and calculating interests, especially in business in Babylon three thousand years ago. The numbers and arithmetic operations were recorded on clay tablets with a pointed reed pen. Then they were placed in the oven to dry. They knew addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. They did not use the decimal system currently in use for numbers, which made it more difficult as they used the sexagesimal system, which consists of sixty symbols to represent numbers from one to fifty-nine. The sexagesimal system is still used today in measuring angles when calculating triangles and measuring time (an hour equals sixty minutes and a minute equals sixty seconds). The ancient Egyptians developed this system in land surveying after each flood to estimate taxes. They also followed the decimal system, which is counting by ones, tens, and hundreds. But they did not know zero. Therefore, they wrote 500 by placing five symbols, each representing a hundred.
