Before digging into making my own clocks and timekeeping methods, I wanted to first start with the bigger picture and learn what it takes to measure days, months and years for a calendar.
The calendar is a tool that tracks cycles more than it tracks time. It tracks the cycles of the earth spinning on its axis, the earth spinning around the sun, and the moon spinning around the earth. Early calendars that tracked the cycles of the moon (crescent moon to full moon) were called Lunar Calendars. Early calendars that track the cycle of the earth traveling around the sun is called a Solar Calendar. The calendar that we use today is called the Gregorian Calendar, and is a "Luna Solar Calendar", meaning it has combined elements of both calendars...but, in a nutshell, that is why some creative math is required to make the two cycles synchronize.

|| ABOUT ||
Today, getting what you need is as easy as a trip to the store. From food to clothing, energy, medicine, and so much more, Andy George will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself. Each week he’s traveling the world to bypass the modern supply chain in order to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask.
