Come share the cool stuff you love about the past!

We do not allow posts based on personal or relatives' anecdotes. Brief and short answers are allowed but MUST be properly sourced to respectable literature. All other rules also apply—no bigotry, current events, and so forth.

For this round, let’s look at: Time & Timekeeping! The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the concept of COVID time - where our collective sense of time seems out of whack. Do you know of other times in history when something similar has happened? Or of a historical society or culture with an interesting approach to time and timekeeping? Today's thread is a space to share all the cool things you know about how the passage of time has been documented.
