A more entertaining possibility suggests 12 stemmed from the number of joints on the four (non-thumb) fingers of one hand.

Well now I'm conscious of all the joints in my non-thumb fingers.

You can easily count to 12 with just one hand, and you can count to 60 with both hands, in the babylonian style, by using the finger segments.
