Why in a day 24 hours, and why in one hour 60 minutes?
Hello buddy ....
This time we will discuss the time. Do you know why in one hour there are 60 minutes? Why in one day 24 hours?
All of that has a very long history. Not only do we question that now. But far away people have also been asking about it. So do not be surprised!
Hopefully this short article is able to answer 2 questions in the atad
Based on a source I read. Humans began to recognize the time since the use of stone henge in the village of Wiltshire, England which has existed since 5000 years ago. Historians have estimated that the vertically arranged stone became the benchmark of the time of the day [Source]
The origin of the 24-hour daytime division comes from Ancient Egypt, they determine it based on 12-stars sightings at night. Because stars are not visible during the day, they also agree to establish that noon is also 12 hours.
Meanwhile, 60 minutes, 60 seconds were influenced by the Babylonian high civilization. They calculate the number always at number 60.
God bless you. @biblegateway
It is incredible that by this calculation the Egyptians did, it's exact or at least very accurate the way a year starts and ends having all seasons aligned by these numbers, for sure there is something deeper in those numbers, don't you think?...
Yes of course. But I only review the short answer
