Previously, our ancestors measured time in different ways, for example: water clock, oil clock, sundial, obelisk. The first who knew that the day 24 hours were ancient Egyptians. They distinguished two parts in the day - dark and light time.
The first mechanical watches with a liquid escapement were made in Tang China in 725 AD by Yixing and Liang Lingzan. Then, every year, century, the clock became simpler and clearer. Nowadays there are electronic, radio frequency mechanical clocks. The most practical watch is an electronic one from such a watch you can even call to measure it, etc. The watch nowadays not only fulfills its function, but also people often use it as an accessory.
I believe that the clock has changed dramatically in its development.
Stonehenge is an archeological site located on Salisbury Plain, about 8 miles north of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. It has long been the subject of historical speculation. Moreover, ideas about the meaning and significance of the structure continued to develop in the 21st century. The Stonehenge which we see today is really incomplete as many of its original sarsens and bluestones having been broken up and taken away during Britain's Roman and medieval periods. There are no written records as to why Stonehenge was built. Furthermore, there are many theories but no confirmations. Some theory it was a place of dying, while others theory it was a place of healing. Some reason Stonehenge was built for human sacrifice while others speculate it's all about astronomy. On the other hand, many archaeologists and antiquarians have tried to satisfy this monumental mystery. Whether this mystery will ever be solved, Stonehenge draws visitors from all over the world. It is a place to visit that will satisfy your own curiosity. For instance, if you'd like to come and pray or meditate or just take in it's architectural beauty, Stonehenge is a place you will not want to miss. Personally I think that it is a solar calendar that predicted the sunrise, sunset, eclipse, moonsets and moonrise while my friends reckon it as a place for worship. However, the reasoning for Stonehenge remains a mystery. I feel like it can be described in one word as really impressive as millions of people come from all over the world to visit this marvellous historical monument.
