The completion you mentioned in your former post may have substance.

Primarily the grid makers thought in terms of squares. If you have a square 9 x 9 and you add a ninth to the bottom it requires a block of ten to complete the pattern, nine regular squares and one which displays the additions. It sounds unconvincing but this is how they did it at Giza. The squares themselves can be divided into various combinations 9x10, 11¼x8, 15x6 which understandably all add to 90.

Its the number 90 which is important and as I mentioned before it belongs to probably the most simplest doubling system of all ... that which begins with 11¼ and terminates with 360. It doesn't necessarily have Mesopotamian influence but then again it might.
