Hello everyone, I want to understand the weights systems in the Bronze age in MiddleEast but what I don't get it, is the ratio of these weights and the basis for these ratios. like in the Mohenjo-Daro case, we have 2, 4, 8...1600 ratios.

so I want to know two things: 1. what is the basis for these ratios? is that just arbitrary numbers for divisions of weights or maybe it has equity for reaching these ratios?

and question 2. if in one site we got different ratios so what is the difference between Mesopotamian and Indus weight system? from my perception, it's just a difference between ratios in two civilizations just like the difference between ratios in one single site, a regular difference that not a big deal, so maybe there is no difference and we want just imagine there is!!!
