Let us imagine that the ENTIRE HISTORY OF MANKIND is squeezed in within twelve hours and that we are living at noon of the long day of Mankind. Let's suppose, for the sake of simplicity and convenience of calculation, that Man has moved on two extremities and HAS SHOWS INVENTIVENESS only for two hundred and forty thousand years. Every hour on our watch means twenty thousand years, every minute is three hundred thirty-three and three-tenths of a year. For the first eleven and a half hours, THERE WAS NOTHING REGISTERED. We do NOT KNOW ANYTHING either of people or events; we just assume that on the Earth there lived Man, because we find his stone tools, fragments of pottery, as well as some of his drawings of mammoths and buffalo. Only at twenty minutes to twelve the very first traces of the Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations begin to appear. Greek literature, philosophy and science, which we are accustomed to speak of as "ancient", are not even seven minutes old. A minute before twelve, Lord Bacon wrote his "Multiplication of Sciences", and ever since the Man made a steam engine work instead of himself, only less than half-minute passed. Such is the perfect example of a small-scale representation of history with the help of clocks. Only after defining the year of the first Olympiad and the date of the founding of Rome, the chronology becomes clear enough to determine the year in which this or that event occurred. Approximately in the thousandth year BC. the Aryan people began to settle on the peninsulas of Spain, Italy and the Balkans, but in India by that time they had already settled; Knossos had already been destroyed, and the great Egyptian times of Tutankhamun III, Amenhotep III and Ramses II had ended three or four centuries before.
