From Babylonian sky watchers tracking eclipses over centuries, to Egyptian sacred calendars charged with mythic power, from Roman state auguries that could halt a senate assembly, to the mathematical cycles of China and India that governed weddings and foundations, this book reveals the lost timing technologies that shaped human history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not superstition dressed as history.
