I may be completely wrong with this, but I seem to remember 360 as the original number of days in the year (hence 360 degrees in a circle). I seem to remember hearing that in connection with a tv show on the Egyptians.

It would have made maths and physics a little easier if it WAS equal to three. Whoever designed the circle was just being mean!
