Description
An intriguing and historical device with roots in ancient Egypt. It served the Oracle of Delphi, a renowned religious site in ancient Greece. Its unique design shows an inverted hour scale with a gnomon pointing upwards, tracking the sun’s movement. Used by Silk Road caravan guides. Reached Japan and Korea. Its small and precious nature made it highly valued. Used to determine the hour for religious ceremonies and prayers. One of the most intriguing aspects of the Silk Road Sundial is its ability to create a “shadowless” effect at twelve o’clock, which adds to the device’s mystical appeal. Many perceived this dial to be a magical instrument.
