"After seeing the total solar eclipse of 8th April 2024 CE, I became interested
in the fantastic ability of the math and astronomy used to calculate its time
and location. I considered how such an event might have appeared to people in
ancient times; they apparently found it as incredible as I did, because through
my reading I was fascinated to hear that many ancient calendars were calibrated
to modern calendars by the writings of eclipses by ancient peoples.
The mission of this website is to create a collection of every calendar with a
verifiable date at a specific point in time, as well as other methods of
timekeeping. It is to be a celebration of time as counted by humans from all
walks of life, displaying all of the unique ways different people chose to
satisfy one of humanity's earliest and most universal curiosities.
Also included in this mission is the calculation of celestial phenomena, just
as those who calculated the dates and times of the eclipse allowed me to know
in advance of the event that would inspire me."
