So ancient Mesopotamians used to count on their hands slightly different. They wouldn't count their thumbs, instead they would count each knuckle with their thumb so, 3 knuckles per finger and 4 fingers each hand

Don't worry, you can count to higher numbers in sets of 15, with your heroic lordly number of fingers, rather than sets of 12, like I have with my ghastly peasant fingers.
