RE: Sundial: History, functioning and types

I had read at some point of this type of clocks, but the truth had never seen one, I had not looked for it, thank you very much for bringing it and share it in images and give their respective explanation. I think that ancient civilizations had a great wisdom, because to be able to determine the time through these clocks, involved a good analysis, a good observation to know how time passed and how to use light and shadow to have a reference, excellent.

The truth is that one cannot explain how after the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans we spent a few centuries with a great depression in terms of wisdom during the Middle Ages.
When I saw this sundial on a walk last week I was doing some research to find out how they work and what aspects to take into account. I marvelled at the importance of the angle that the baton must have depending on the latitude we are at for it to be a good sundial.
