Civilizations have devised unique ways to measure days and years. Ancient Egyptians employed a 10-day week, while the French Revolutionary Calendar featured 10-hour days and 100-minute hours. In parts of medieval Europe, people divided daylight into 12 “unequal” hours, longer in summer and shorter in winter. Although these methods never supplanted the Gregorian system globally, they offer fascinating insights into cultural priorities and adaptation to natural cycles. Exploring them highlights how different societies have approached the fundamental challenge of regulating life by the clock.
