Native cultures (the smae ones that we practically destroyed in the 19th century) had more accurate calenders. And it is not exactly 365.25 days a year anyway, eventually we will need another day, or one less day. Then there is the unavoidable effect of the Earth's rotation gradually slowing down. Not that we will notice, but the end of the world will surely be on a cosmic scale, with nothing to do with the numbers we apply to things. And if it is just civilisation, then it is so trivial that any clues in the cosmos are simply read into it.
Most other cultures used different bases. I mean, in our system we count to ten, then add another digit and keep going. Who is to say that there can't be twelve mumbers before the next digit is used, or six? Log base ten is just the western system, taken from arabic.
What do you get if you multiply six by nine? As the Ultimate Question goes. Not 42, unless you count in base thirteen.
