Telling Time
Early men did not have clocks. They told time by the sun and shadows of trees. At first, they used sticks placed in the ground instead of trees. They made marks on the ground, and the shadows from the sticks told the time of day.
Later, men began to use sundials. Some sundials were boxes with a stick to cast a shadow. Men were able to carry the sundial box with them. The mark for noon was very important. The sundial had to face the same way or the time was wrong. Sundials were good only on sunny days. They were the first kind of a clock.
