EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient and primitive method of timekeeping still used in Upper Egypt - the Egyptian Sundial. A simple yet ingenious instrument, this sun dial consists of nothing more than a pole stuck in the ground, with stones strategically placed to mark the passage of its shadow as it moves throughout the day. The time taken from one stone to the next serves as a rudimentary but effective way of measuring time.
Steeped in history and tradition, this image provides a glimpse into the scientific knowledge and ingenuity of ancient civilizations like Egypt. The use of such a basic tool for tracking time highlights how our ancestors were able to harness natural phenomena like sunlight to create practical solutions for everyday tasks.
As we marvel at this historical artifact, we are reminded of the importance of understanding and appreciating different cultures and their contributions to science and technology. The Egyptian Sundial is not just a relic from the past; it is a testament to human innovation and creativity that continues to inspire us today.
