Time
When our humans were in Egypt, they visited Alexandria, where they saw this unique sundial (called an analemmatic disk) in front of the new Library of Alexandria. If you click on the second photo to make it larger, you should be able to read the instructions for this unique method of telling time!

Now THAT'S a good illustration of time! :)
- from Leslie and the topcatrules gang :)
WOWY - that is furry complicated!
That sure is a unique clock. I'm not sure I know how to read it even with the instruction. :)

Only a clevercat could understand all that? Good one.
That is really cool. I like your unique photo illustrating time.
Nice take on the theme. Have a wonderful weekend.
Cool post...thanks for sharing.

This is cool but I still can't figure up how to read the time :P

That's a great time picture. Come see my look at time. - Margy
Wow I'd never seen one like that. Great choice of this week's theme
great one for today's theme... mine's up too hope you can drop by.
I read it. It got me interested. Lots of math though, lol. I'd take wristwatch anytime. :D My big time is here. Hope you can drop by.
No cat pictures this time around? Forsooth! Seriously though, great Photo Hunt entry! :)
Wow, guys, that`s a really great post for today`s theme. Well done! Hugs and rubs for you both.

That's some time machine they have there in Alexandria. Do you guys get a long weekend this weekend too like in the UK? FAZ
That was a great idea for the "time" theme. We thought this was another hard subject.

Very interesting...learn something everyday
That is a very unusual clock. It didn't sound complicated though.

Obviously I meant 'it DID sound complicated'

Wow, that is something else! Very cool to read and look at! We are sure glad that momma has clocks with numbers on them so she can figure out the time a little easier ... hee hee!
Purrs and headbutts,
Sabrina, Sam and Simon
Very cool to look at, though I'd need a calculator to figure out the time! Nice!
This sundial is really cool. Although I will never understand it :)
whoa, those Egyptians were way smarter than me cause that is a lot of math. They were such an amazing civilization!
That's and interesting story of time! That would really be neat to actually see. Have a wonderful week.
This looks very cool as does all of Egypt in your photos! :) Now back to my chicken and the party, come join in the fun boys! :)
Your representation of time is wonderful! Thanks for sharing more of your trip photos.
"Analemmatic Disk"..say that 10 times real fast! That's really cool, though, and I'll bet the ancients had no problem using it, either! They were a lot more sophisticated than we sometimes give them credit for being!
What a fascinating clock Dragonheart!
Great take on the time theme. The photographs you used are perfect.
I love stuff like this. How the heck did they think of it? Thanks for sharing.
We love coming to your blog. You always have such cool pictures of your adventures!
Great take on the theme! Have a great weekend. Happy Hunting. Come by and see mine here if you get a chance.
Dragonheart, this is very cool!
Thanks for sharing this. Now everyone wants to go to Egypt!!
That is really cool. Confusing, but really cool. Thanks for sharing that.
