This was a rabbit-hole discovery. It’s over an hour and could have used some tighter editing, but it’s truly fascinating stuff.

The Greeks used hour ranges, not specific times (i.e., 6 p.m. meant 6:00-6:59), the origin of the 24-hour, seven-day week stems from gods in Egypt where each one cycled through being in charge for the first hour of the day, the length of an hour varied by time of year because it was sundial days … it’s rare to run into a video where I knew absolutely nothing about the subject matter already.

It’s admittedly trivia in the end, but this was one of those finds I had to share.
