Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of time-reckoning among primitive and early peoples. The author delves into the origins of how humans around the globe learned to measure and express time, a subject that has historically been dominated by the study of sophisticated calendrical systems of civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks. The author challenges this focus by demonstrating that the development of time-reckoning is far more complex and nuanced, starting from concrete observations of nature and evolving into structured systems. The book examines how ancient people used the movements of the sun, moon, and stars, as well as the cycles of nature, to mark time. We learn how the rising and setting of celestial bodies, the changing seasons, and the phases of the moon provided vital clues for understanding the passing of days, months, and years. The author also explores how these observations were embedded in language and social practices, highlighting the importance of these concepts for understanding ancient cultures. The book argues that understanding how primitive peoples measured time illuminates the early stages of human intellectual development and provides valuable insights into the origins of calendar systems in cultures around the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333630225_0
