The Strange Way Humans Measured Time Before Clocks

Every day, we check the time without thinking. But for almost all of human history, there were no clocks, no watches, no alarms, and not even hours as we know them today. So how did ancient humans wake up, hunt, build civilizations, and coordinate their lives? In this documentary, we'll travel from prehistoric hunter-gatherers to ancient Egypt, explore sundials, stars, and water clocks, and uncover the surprising inventions that slowly changed humanity's relationship with time. You might discover that the biggest invention wasn't the clock itself—it was the way it changed how humans think.
