One additional point of possible academic interest regarding our chronological division of time, is why clocks are divided into twelve hours rather that ten. Apparently the Egyptians stared measuring the passing of time using the sun dial, but rather than counting on their fingers as we do, they counted on the segments of their fingers using the tip of the thumb. Thus one hand sums up to twelve, plus the other hand... twenty- four.( I know that a lot of what I write is in jest.....but this is true according to ancient historians).
