The Evolution of Timekeeping
For millennia, humanity has sought to measure and understand time. From ancient sundials that tracked the sun's shadow to atomic clocks that measure cesium oscillations, our journey through timekeeping reflects our quest for precision and control.
The earliest timekeeping devices emerged around 3500 BCE in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. These simple shadow clocks evolved into sophisticated instruments that shaped civilizations, enabled navigation, and ultimately synchronized our modern world.
