Time, it marches on relentlessly outside of human control. But humanity has long found a variety of ways to mark our passage through the eons. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. But why do we count our collective journey through the ages in these integers?

And a year is one orbit of the earth around the sun, traveling through the 4 seasons again and again. But why 60 seconds in a minute, 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week and 12 months in a year? Let’s look back through history to learn the varied origins of these odd measures of time.
I make mini documentaries about women's history and royal history:
Queens of the World: Queen Marie Antoinette, Part 1
A History of... A History of Childbirth: Conception
Royal History: A History of Royal Incest & Inbreedin...
LGBT Royals: LGBTQ Royals of the World
