One of the major differences in metrological conventions between Egyptians and Mesopotamians is that one used a cube and one used a sphere
In Egyptian measurements, this is known as a " nu pot ", and considered a measurement for water clocks, while the Royal Akkadian gur-cube, is based on a theoretical cube of water, but also used for water clock measurements and keeping time
