This question goes to all the scientist out there!

He consulted ifa...

R

Lol....

Basic geography....the reference place for GWM is the equator.

Once the sun is at the zenith, we call that noon. So he kept slowing down the hands until the next noon on the clock coincided with the next zenith of the sun. And the.

Every other country adapts to that reference based on longitudinal and latitudinal juxtapositions

Abeg na idea I dey yes o....bt I hope it makes sense...but simple google it for crying out loud...,these things are not rocket science. Africans love dancing around puzzling questions rather than curiously finding answers

Its through the sand glass.

Freemanan lol saw your comments, but Na today sure pass: my network has been hell

Come drop an iota of your intelligence here

Beke!

Sun dial

Question is supposed to be: how was time ascertained before the clock invention?
From this, an answer to this thread will emanate

But anyhow way em take drop manage like that la. Na your answer sure pass

I guess it was set Astrologically.

We've come a long way

We were given this as an assignment back in my 200level and my answer still remains...


They put 12 crowing cockrills on the center stone at Stonehenge on summer solcest. The averaged crow rate was diveded by twelve then multiplied by the prime meridian factor..then allowing for the curveature of the world. Then waited until everybody had started work that day the put the time back an hour. Simple!

Boss this Na from lay man view??

LOL
It's philosophical...

I think they measure the time by dusk and dawn. After that pahar system would be evolved. And after that sun clock would be invented.

Before the invention of the time clock, more civilised races used the hour glass (also called sand glass).

In Africa, many of the people could tell what time of the day it was using their shadows. I learnt that from my granny, and also learnt how to do it. Its kinda based on the lenght and direction of one's shadow and knowing where the sun rises and where it sets.
