Telling Time without a Clock: Scandinavian Daymarks Class Projects: Schoolyard Daymarks and Classroom Noon-Line Project Introduction H ow would we measure time without a clock? We know that the Sun moves across the sky during the day. Can we tell what time it is by looking at the position of the Sun? In modern times, precise time measurement is very important. So many people depend on knowing the "right time" to go about their daily business. Industrialized societies need accurate regular time measurement to function. Does everyone on Earth live in such a society? No, in some parts of the world people still live much as they did thousands of years ago. Even our industrialized societies are fairly new when compared to most of human existence. Only a few hundred years ago telling time exactly wasn't so important. But it was still helpful to get a rough idea of what time it was. Pointing at the Sun Probably the simplest way to tell time is by knowing the path of the Sun across the sky and how long it takes the Sun to move. Where on Earth is this method easiest? If the Sun rises high in the sky and its path doesn't change much from season to season, it is pretty easy to tell time from the position of the Sun. The Sun behaves more like this the closer to the equator one gets. Many pre-industrial peoples in the tropics used this method of telling time, even into this century. Many African peoplessuch as the Cross River, Caffres, Waporogo, and Wagogo peopleswould indicate time by pointing to a place in the sky where the Sun would stand at the time they wished to indicate. The same method was used in other parts of the world, such as the New Hebrides, Dutch East Indies, and Sarawak.

Although most people know that a list exists of the Seven World Wonders, only few can name them. The list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was originally compiled around the second century BC. The first reference to the idea is found in History of Herodotus as long ago as the 5th century BC. Decades later, Greek historians wrote about the greatest monuments at the time. Callimachus of Cyrene (305BC-240BC), Chief Librarian of the Alexandria Mouseion , wrote "A Collection of Wonders around the World". All we know about the collection is its title, for it was destroyed with the Alexandria Library The final list of the Seven Wonders was compiled during the Middle Ages . The list comprised the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World , some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages. Others did not even co-exist. Among the oldest references to the canonical list are the engravings by the Dutch artist Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574), and Johann Fischer von Erlach's History of Architecture. Today, archaeological evidence reveals some of the mysteries that surrounded the history of the Wonders for centuries. For their builders, the Seven Wonders were a celebration of

Shoulder-Season South America from Away.com DESTINATIONS Made Up of Time By Mark Leger The Maya, sons of the days, are made up of time," Eduardo Galleano recently wrote. He was referring to two things: their brilliant traditional calendars, products of astronomical knowledge until recently unrivaled by any other culture. And the Mayan ability to endure. The Mayan ruins of central America are from cities that fell into decline long before Columbus. But many of the traditions reflected in the architecture and art from these sites live on in the modern Mayan world. Mexico's Palenque Mayan Ruins The ancient Mayan world centered on the Yucatan Peninsula, spilling over to the lowland rainforests of Mexico to the east and Belize in the west, finally climbing up to the Guatamalan highlands through to the Pacific coast of Guatamala . The eastern edges of Honduras and El Salvador were also part of the Mayan world. Today, most Mayan people now live in three areas: the Yucatan Peninsula and Chiapas state in Mexico, and the Guatemalan highlands. Today's Maya number between four and six million, divided into many different ethnic groups who speak around 30 different languages.

Newswatch Last Updated: Monday, 25 July 2005, 12:04 GMT 13:04 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Ancient phallus unearthed in cave By Jonathan Amos BBC News science reporter It may also have been used to knap, or split, flints More details A sculpted and polished phallus found in a German cave is among the earliest representations of male sexuality ever uncovered, researchers say. The 20cm-long, 3cm-wide stone object, which is dated to be about 28,000 years old, was buried in the famous Hohle Fels Cave near Ulm in the Swabian Jura. The prehistoric "tool" was reassembled from 14 fragments of siltstone. Its life size suggests it may well have been used as a sex aid by its Ice Age makers, scientists report. "In addition to being a symbolic representation of male genitalia, it was also at times used for knapping flints," explained Professor Nicholas Conard, from the department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology, at Tübingen University. "There are some areas where it has some very typical scars from that," he told the BBC News website.

It grew out of the Mediterranean breezes, the sun and desert of Northern Africa, the Persian and West Asian lands. To study Ancient Civilization is to travel - across parts of Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to India. It is a linking voyage, not a reducing trip. It CONNECTS peoples, ideas, patterns, developments, organizations, wars, religions, art, architecture, food and drink. It is a human endeavor about a human story.

It’s about visiting those places within myself that are wiser, clearer and more creative than my everyday self. When I’m there, I never feel alone, abandoned to my own limitations. The results of time spent in this place, are what I share with my students, but I’ve never tried to communicate how these results came to be. Teaching the results is no longer enough, I’m hoping that sharing the entire process will inspire the hidden wise and creative selves waiting in each student to make themselves known EMERGING ARTISTS GALLERY Emerging Artists Gallery Presenting SL Savarick Gwen Gibson presents SL Savarick as the next installment in her Emerging Artists series.

" It would have sustained cities. It did start to develop into an urban culture, especially in one area of the Cucuteni civilization which is presently Romania and the western part of the Ukraine. There we have cities of ten to fifteen thousand inhabitants in around 4,000 B.C. So urban development began, but it was truncated."

Odd as it may sound, I also believe God communicates with those He created. I have no scientific proof for the hard-nosed skeptic, but I do have the experiences of myself and others for those open to faith. Throughout the ages God used dreams and visions to speak to man. The Bible relates stories of Him guiding and warning His children. Today alledged visions and apparitions continue to be reported. Is God alerting us to impending catastrophic events? I am an ordinary person, who occasionally has extraordinary dreamsprecognitive dreams or dreams about the future. At first I dismissed them as the product of an overactive imagination. Deep in my soul, I knew they were much more. My prophetic dreams come true-some within hours and others years later. Many have had personal significance, such as the death of my father and birth of my son. Others describe events that effect the entire planet and each inhabitant. For decades I have awaited the manifestation of my most profound and serious dream. Finally five years ago I searched prophecy for answers. The discovery I made left me
