The Sun Dial
The oldest of timepieces is most probably the sundial. Around 4000 B.C. the ancient Egyptians used a gnomon (projection rod), stuck vertically into the ground, to tell the approximate time of day by the position and length of the shadow it cast. This is thought to be the origin of the sundial. #foryou #watches #luxurywatches #retrowatch #luxurylife
