Yeah.

So like the lines of the hours went up like longitude and then the seasons were like latitude.

And I guess just depending on how high up or how shallow the shadows were, you could tell what season it was because it was within one of those arcs or two of those arcs or three or four.

Right.

Yeah.

And, you know, I mentioned the seasonal hours when Greek sundials started dividing daytime into 12 equal parts.

Obviously not hours because we eventually ended up at 24, like not hours as we know it, but they would depend on the length of the season.

So it's not like they accounted for it.

So they were all uniform.

It was just like, hey, sometimes during the year.

What they will one day call an hour is longer than others, which would lead to some kind of a cool thing where ancient texts in Greece would refer to that like a winter hour is something that could be done in a shorter amount of time.

Like that'll just take you a winter hour.

Yeah.

And this was so this is the ancient Greeks.

This lasted well into the medieval period.

That's how people did hours.

The hour was longer in the summer.

The hour was shorter in the winter.

And it was essentially their way of what we do for daylight savings time by adjusting.

Yeah, except we're just, you know, modern humans are way too anal to just let it kind of flow like that.
