History about how time was calculated by previous civilasation

History about how time was calculated
by previous civilisation or culture
Achaelogical data can give technological
sophistication of a culture, intellectual
growth is in the form of myths, religion,
literature, astronomy, mathematics etc
> Astronomy provide many clocks
*Hours (sun and moon)
*Days (sun)
*Week (moon)
*Forthnight (moon)
*Months (sun and moon)
*Year (sun)
*Five to nineteen year (Eclipse cycle)
*Sixty years (Jupiter and Saturn)
*Hundreds of years (Precession)
*In the previous culture most people
uses sun in the morning and after noor
to calculate hours in the days and in the
evening they uses shadows also to
calculate hours and during night they
uses moon when is available to calculate
hours at night also shadows. They also
uses stars to determine time.
*In terms of days they use sun in order
to determine that particular day and
they name that days as follows (Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday) after that they
keep them in order.
*In terms of weeks they use moon in
order to determine that weeks, by
grouping them in 7 days so that they
can be called weeks as called nowadays
by current generation that called Homo
Sapiens which are human, I think that
was discovered by Homo Sapiens.
*In my perspective I think that was not
accurate because sometimes has
situation that there's no sun during the
day and during night no moon that
means sometimes that was not
accurate.
