These ancient people could tell when winter was approaching by when the days would grow longer or shorter. By counting days and the passage of the moon, they could predict changes in the weather. And they’ve tried to predict and measure those movements too, and for good reason. Humans have noticed the night patterns for as long as they’ve had backs straight enough to stand and look to the sky. The stars, too, will move across the sky, returning to their original positions after about 365 of those sunrises and sunsets. It will start as a crescent that fills the night sky, then shrinks a process that takes about thirty sunsets and sunrises. Its cycle is trustworthy year after year - making its emulation by all people through ages understandable.Īt the same time each month, the shape of the moon will change. Very few things in this world can be depended on - but the sun is loyal, steady, and true. The Nature of the Sun Brought with it Enough Calendar History to Produce a Calendar. Here are some interesting facts about the history of the Calendar. We can set our watches by the sun - but a millennia ago, the sun bore a child - the calendar.
The sun tends to be quite predictable and follows a regular anticipated cycle. The sun will rise in the morning and set in the evening. Wherever you live, whatever language you speak, and however you fill your day - that day will be the same as everyone else’s, in one significant way.
