Timing in the ancient Egyptians Obelisks The time machine of the ancient Egyptians and the secret of calculating time 6261 years ago, the ancient Egyptians were able to calculate time and date and divide the seasons through the movement of stars and the rotation of the sun, which astronomers see as a breakthrough in this field. Despite the adoption of the Gregorian date, some experts point out that the Egyptian history dates back to before the approved date, which is 6261, and that there is an earlier date than was not approved. The Solar Calendar Dr Abdel-Fattah Al-Banna, Professor of Archeology at Cairo University, confirms that the ancient Egyptians knew the solar calendar thousands of years ago and divided it into three seasons. He added that the three seasons were related to the flood season in which the Nile waters overflowed, the germination season, which is the planting season, and the heating season or what is known as the harvest season. And researchers always tend to search for astronomy and go to the pyramids, and they ignored the function of obelisks, which are scattered in more than one place. Time measurement He explained that the obelisks are a time-measuring machine, as they were placed in an open place, and the obelisk’s shadow on its circumference was calculated in minutes and hours. The rotation of the shadow was calculated as an estimate in the case of the sun’s brightness.
