INFORMATION

Product introduction

In an era without phones or clocks, how did people aware of the time?
Could the daily motion of the sun as it rises and sets help us uncover this secret?


By assembling a sundial, children can integrate the astronomical theories from school, building a foundational understanding of time, the sun, and Earth's movements. They will also learn how ancient people observed the sun's path across the sky to define time, sparking interest and sensitivity towards astronomy and science.


Unlike most imported sundials that can only be used in their country of origin, the Sun God Sundial can be adjusted for latitude, allowing it to differentiate between winter and summer scales. This means children can observe time differences across different seasons and latitudes!


Featuring a mythological style, the Sun God Sundial is made from warm, tactile wood, and all parts are professionally tested to ensure the highest level of fit and comfort during assembly.



|A story of Sundial|


According to current archaeological records, the oldest sundials are the ancient Egyptian obelisks from around 3500 BCE and the Babylonian shadow clocks from around 1500 BCE.


Broadly speaking, a sundial is a device that shows time by using the sun's altitude or position. Today, in addition to its function for timekeeping, sundials are often used as decorative art and educational tools for learning mathematics.
