*The system by which we measure time today was founded 4,000 years ago in Babylon. Timekeeping was devised by identifying and measuring the movement of the Sun and Moon across the Zodiac constellations. Ancient priests of astrology and astronomy devised a 360 degree system that plots and times the course of the Sun in a year. The coordinate system can be easily divided by 60, 30 and 15. A minute has 60 seconds. An hour 60 minutes. One day of 24 hours divided by 2 is 12. Due to study at the ancient university of astrology, scholars developed astronomy, the calendar and mathematics.*
