Sand Glass

I-Hourglass iyisisombululo esashintsha isimo sengqondo somuntu ngezikhathi. Umlando awuniki impendulo ecacile mayelana nemvelaphi yawo, kodwa kungacatshangwa ukuthi leyo divayisi yaziwa e-Asia yasendulo ngaphambi kwesikhathi sethu.

Njengoba zibonakalé ukuthi zilula futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo izindlela ezihamba phambili zokulinganisa isikhathi - zisheshe zisakaze eNkathini Ephakathi futhi zenezela kahle kakhulu ethandwayo ngaleso sikhathi iwashi lelanga.

I-hourglass yenza kube lula ukulinganisa isikhathi phakathi kokuhlwa kwelanga futhi kwakuyiqiniso kakhulu kune-clepsydra. Indawo ekhethekile yayihlala lawa mawashi emikhumbi; Ukugoba akuzange kube nomthelela omkhulu esihlabathini esithulisiwe, ngokungafani newashi lemanzi. Okokuqala, ngosizo lwabo, ijubane lomkhumbi lalinqunywa - intambo enamahlumela yadonswa emanzini futhi isikhathi silinganiswa imizuzwana engu-30. Ngesikhathi esifanayo nokuphenduka kwewashi, abagibeli, behlehlisa intambo emanzini, baqala ukuzizwa, ngokuvamile bebathinta, "amafindo" - ngakho-ke isivinini samafindo. Futhi emikhumbi yayisetshenziselwa ama-hourglasses amane, ngosizo lwesikhathi sokulinda kwelinye ilanga leqembu elihleliwe.

Impendulo eyinhloko ye-hourglass enjalo yayiyingayizi encane yesikhathi esivelayo esitholakalayo sokwenza. Ngakho, ethandwa kakhulu kwakuyihora elilinganisa ihora, amabili, ngezinye izikhathi amahora amathathu. Ezimbonini, amahora avame ukukala amahora ayisishiyagalolunye noma ayishumi nambili - ubude besuku lokusebenza.

Ukuchithwa kwama-watches anjalo kuxhomeke kakhulu kwikhwalithi yesihlabathi. Ngokuvamile isihlabathi esifanayo sasetshenziswa, okwakwenziwa ekwakheni ingilazi - eyayihlanganiswa, ifakwe kahle futhi ihlungwa ngesihlungo esihle. Esikhundleni somhlabathi, igobolondo eligayiwe kahle lamagobolondo noma imvuthuluka yemabula lingasetshenziswa futhi. Futhi, ukunemba kwe-hourglass kuncike kwikhwalithi yesibhakabhaka esisetshenzisiwe, isikhathi esingaphezu kwesikhathi, ngenxa yokukhishwa kwendawo yangaphakathi yesilazi ngesihlabathi, ukunemba kwamahora anjalo kunciphisa.

Ekhulwini le-18 le-19 leminyaka, ngokufika kwezinto zokukhiqiza kanye namafektri, ngenxa yokunciphisa izindleko zokukhiqiza, amawashi aphezulu nezindleko ezingavamile kanye namawashi e-alamu asakazeka. Ngenxa yalokho, i-hourglass yaxoshwa ekusebenziseni kwansuku zonke, kodwa naphezu kwalokhu nanamuhla bathole uhlelo olubanzi embonini, imithi nezinye izindawo eziningi.
