That feels relatively young for something like that, I would’ve thought maybe that would’ve been a little further back.
In some ways it does go further back, because each village basically had its own time. So there were lots and lots of time zones, if you think about it that way.
Knowing the exact time. Back then most people probably only had public clocks, like the clock tower on churches, to tell time
There wasn’t even a universal time. Every village had its own time. Only the invention of trains made it necessary to synchronize all the times.
I just learned today that the concept of timezones was not invented until 1876.
