You’ve probably heard that our modern understanding of time, calendars, months, years, even seasons, came from the Greeks or the Romans.

We’re told timekeeping began in Europe. That the rest of the world was just guessing.

But that’s not true. Long before Caesar reformed the calendar, before the Gregorian system got adopted globally, Africans had already mastered time.

We tracked the stars. Aligned with the moon. Built full systems to measure the seasons, the rains, the cycles of life. And the oldest calendar in the world?

It’s not Roman. It’s African and I’m going to tell you all about it.
