Reckoning of Time and Pharaohs Calibrating the Year
A historical overview traces the origin of the 365 day year to ancient Egypt counting days via a sunlit temple tunnel aligned to a helical star. It contrasts Egyptian solar counting with lunar schemes used by Greeks and Romans and notes Julius Caesar and Sosigenes shaping the modern calendar. The piece also touches on the etymology of pease and Lynch Inn frontier justice, ending with a testimonial for Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy from San Angelo.
