It's easy to determine the progression of the calendar if you take careful sight of the sky. Next time you see sunrise or sunset take notice of whether the Sun is setting due west or just north or south of west. Many ancient cultures watched the communicate of the Sun carefully and over long periods of measure. Using simple techniques and tools they were able to measure periods desire the length of a year very accurately. Ancient people who took notice of celestial motion would have open that the pass solstice occurred every 365 days. They would also notice that the solstice was delayed an extra day every four years. This is the reason for the move year in the modern calendar. The delay occurs because the length of the year is a little more than 365 days — closer to 365 days long. By taking some simple observations over a period of a few years it is possible to measure the length of a year to surprising accuracy using this technique. Tags: . [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
