  • In addition to immortality, if one angered the gods, they could inflict eternal torments from hell on people. For example, Prometheus, nailed to a large rock, was tormented by an eagle that pecked out his liver. Endymion, who seduced Hera, the wife of Zeus, was condemned to eternal sleep.
  • In Christians. every prayer is recited at a certain hour. Together, all these prayers constitute a divine service, clearly scheduled according to the hours.

  • Pirates on their flags very often used the emblem of the hourglass. For example, in the hands of a skeleton or a man with a threatening look and a sword in the second hand. This flag denoted the deadly power of pirates.
  • In the New Age. hourglasses were replaced by tower clocks. Thus, the chimes of the Spasskaya Tower became the emblem of Moscow, and London is symbolized by the famous Big Ben.
  • Historians claim that the very first sundials and water clocks were invented in Babylon.
  • And mechanical clocks date back to the first century A.D. in Byzantium.
