They checked their cell phones.

that is a good question !

So i had to ask why is it called noon?Middle English, from Old English nōn ninth hour from sunrise, from Latin nona, from feminine of nonus ninth; akin to Latin

They checked with the sun dial.

“Inherit the Wind”: And, how long was that first day? There was no Sun.

Today is the Tomorrow you worried about Yesterday…and Now you know Why !

Alexander the Great tied strips of coloured cloth together to form a long strip, which he hung from the nearest tree. As the shadow of the tree passed each strip, he soldiers could tell how many hours had gone by. They referred to it as Alexander’s Rag Time Band.

They had this high tech device called a sun dial – self setting.

Some obelisks did time keeping, from 3500 B.C.oldest known sundials from 1500 B.C. but the Chinese probably had them earlier as some writings seem to describe them

It was said (many things have been said, some of them even true) that Sir Isaac Newton could look at any vertical object and tell from the shadow what the time was within 5 minutes.Of course you do need a shadow first.

Favorite line from a Shakespeare play…Julius Caesar “Peace! Count the clock”“The clock hath stricken three.”“Tis time to part”Never knew sundials made so much noise at NIGHT!!!

by the rooster…

They just “felt” is was time.
