    Let's take a look at the accuracy of the Sundial at Konark Sun temple in India built in 1250 A.D. People still use it today to tell time. Let me show you a short clip of a tour guide figuring out the time and then I will explain how this sundial works.
    As you can see, the sundial is pretty accurate and people are amazed by it. Let's take a closer look and see how it works. The sundial has 8 major spokes that divide 24 hours into 8 equal parts, which means that the time between two major spokes is 3 hours. There are 8 minor spokes as well. Each minor spoke runs exactly in the middle of 2 major spokes. This means that the minor spoke divides the 3 hours in half, so the time between a major spoke and a minor spoke is an hour and half or 90 minutes.
    Now, at the edge of the wheel, you can see a lot of beads. If you observe carefully, you can see that there are 30 beads between a minor and a major spoke. So, the 90 minutes are further divided by 30 beads. This means that each bead carries a value of 3 minutes. The beads are large enough, so you can also see if the shadow falls in the center of the bead or on one of the ends of the bead. This way we can further calculate time accurately to the minute.
    The sundial shows time in an anti-clockwise fashion. At the top, the major spoke stands for midnight and this spoke stands for 3 A.M and this one for 6 A.M and so on. When I place a finger or a pen at the tail of the animal in the axle, the shadow will fall on the edge of the wheel. Now, I simply note the bead where the shadow falls. Using the math we did before, I can easily tell the current time precisely down to the minute. Imagine how much time and coordination would have happened between the astronomers, engineers and sculptors to create something like this 750 years ago.
    Now if you are observing closely, you would have 2 questions in your mind right now. The first question would be, what happens when the sun moves from east to west. Since the wheel is carved on a wall, the sun would not shine on this wheel at all. How can we tell time in the afternoons? Now, the Konark temple has another wheel or sundial, located on the west side of the temple as well. You can just use the other sundial that will work perfectly from afternoon, until sunset.
    This is the second and the most interesting question. How do you tell time after sunset? There would be no sun, and hence no shadows from sunset till the next morning's sunrise. After all, we have 2 sundials in the temple which work only when the sun shines. To this question, I want to point out that the Konark temple does not have just 2 wheels like this. The temple has a total of 24 wheels, all accurately carved just like the sundials. Have you heard of the Moondial? Do you know that the moondials can work just like sun dials during night time? What if the other wheels in the temple could be used as moondials?
    Many people think that the other 22 wheels were carved for decorative or religious purposes and do not have an actual use. This is what people thought about the 2 sundials as well. Believe it or not, people thought that all the 24 wheels were just carved for beauty and as Hindu symbols. About 100 years ago, it became known that this was a sundial when an old yogi was seen calculating time secretly. Apparently selected people were using these wheels for generations and for 650 years no one else knew about it. They say that when they asked him about the purpose of the other 22 wheels, the yogi refused to talk and simply walked away.
    And our knowledge of just these 2 sundials themselves is actually very limited. You can see how there are multiple circles of beads. You can see carvings and markings all over these sundials, and we don't the meaning of most of them. For example, this carving on a major spoke has exactly 60 beads. Notice how in some carving you can see leaves and flowers which may mean Spring or Summer. Notice how in some carvings you can see lemurs mating, which only happens during winter. So, these sundials could have even been used as an almanac for a variety of different things. Now you can understand how limited our knowledge is about the rest of the 22 wheels.

      All the 24 wheels are sundials. 12 wheels are curved on each side, so they can be used to precisely tell time through the 12 months as sun's position changes in the sky.

      Just so around the world. In the US it is just as bad. As a Native American, I see so much that is lies, even about history in just the last century. I was born mid century, so some of these inaccuracies happened during my lifetime.
      These lies always put my people lower than the "civilized" whites. To maintain a dominant posture, academia insists every building/social/civil accomplishment was done by brute force. (And there's a slight emphasis on the word "brute" to reinforce the notion that any accomplishment made was "just" the outcome of of a political system that could work people to death over decades.)
      But beyond the racial bias, it seems there is some group or force that must insist that only northern Europeans were intellectually proficient enough to invent novel and sophisticated solutions to accomplish anything worthwhile. As if there is a divide between their ancestors and my own. A divide that is as between animals and real humans.
      Moreover, there are timelines these academia consider inviolable. In the Americas, that means 12,000 years for humans, because in their minds, the Berringia land route is what must be accepted.
      There is a mystery here, in this insistence that no matter the evidence, everything must fit a pre ordered timeline. Why? What is there about the deeper past that frightens them? Is it just self serving egos, or is there some unstated but powerful restriction on looking to closely at unrecorded history?
      It makes one wonder about who or what seems to be interfering with the scientific method in this one area? Other branches of science take in new discoveries and information and adjust their theories to include the new insights. Even Albert Einstein's great contributions to physics hasn't deterred later researchers from challenging his work even a hundred years on. Why is Archeology alone so unbending?

      There are many yogis in the Northern India with very detailed knowledge of Indian astronomy. The science of 'Jyotish' which many disregard as just astrology contains very precise calculations and there is set to exist a text called 'Bhrigu Samhita'. Bhrigu is an ancient Vedic Saptarishi- one of the seven sages. Even if one disregard that, Indian astronomy has always been very precise. The heliocentric model was first proposed by Aryabhatta in the 5th century. No body recognised it because no body translated it. It was debated by Bhaskaracharya but Aryabhatta had proposed it. The Vedic understanding of the cosmos is very precise and it's calendar is much precise than the current Gregorian Calendar which can't even tackle leap years. Unlike other civilisations, India did not have a dark age. It had the longest running classical period and this konark is a culmination of that. If you go to the Ancient Barabar caves of Bihar you can see the 300 BC caves with precise reflexitivity and resonance which gives ample evidence of the Indian knowledge of acoustics.

We chinese has been using the same text and language since the beginning of our civilization. It's is well constructed and well developed, test through time and people,ancient civilization like India and Chinese were soo far advance then western civilization during the same era, then their Kings and Queens still living in a stone castle, we already building cities with extraordinary huge and beautiful place with precise mathematic design, when our civilization bore of thousand of years war and found a away to live harmony through business trade in ancient time, western civilization were still in the dark age. So little is know to India and China , the only thing still exist and proofed to withstand the test of time is our huge ancient wall built thousand years ago still standing right now, and our gigantic city and place. Go china and see for yourself, every city you visit will find modern city built on top of ancient city, and the building ,wall of our ancient empire still remain along side of modern skyscraper ...

      Even in Sanskrit, these are elaborate details of forming new words, framing equations into poetic meters. Ancient Indian Indus-Saraswati civilisation has sophisticated urban infrastructure, underground networks of water channels, individual toilets, etc. And these cities are atleast 5000 to 9000 years old. I agree that China and India had a lot of cultural interactions during the Indian classical age. For example, Chinese scholars used to come to India like Nalanda University and Vikramashila university. Similarly, Indian buddhist scholars like Bodhidharma went to China and schools of Buddhism went to China. These seats of human civilisation that constituted over 2/3 of world population were largely ignored by later colonial expansions. Even now, Indian mathematics is only 7% translated. So , imagine the wealth of information in the other 97% and this is despite all those Islamic invasions from Central Asia. Same with China. A lot of knowledge has been lost in the cultural revolution.

      Thank you for watching Sir, I hope I get a chance to visit Jantar Mantar. I think Konark Sun Temple could have also been a collection of astronomical instruments. I am trying to find out more about it. Have a great day.

      Konark Sun Temple was built by king Narasingha deva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty about 1250 CE.
      Jantar Mantar, New Delhi consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. The site is one of five built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, from 1723 onwards.
      The Jantar Mantar monument in Jaipur, Rajasthan is a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II, and completed in 1734. It features the world's largest stone sundial, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is located near City Palace and Hawa Mahal which is another architectural wonder.
      Jantar Mantar is an observatory built in Varanasi in the year 1737 by Maharaja Jai Singh II of kingdom of Amber.

      It's not that old. However I do feel it is older than 750 years. These carbon datings have been done during the early 20th century. Instrumentation has improved a lot since those times. I think this will be atleast 200 years older.

    my sincere thanks for your in-depth analysis and proving the fact that Indians had the deep knowledge of science (for measuring accurate time far back in 1250 AD), then artists, who could co-ordinate with those scientists to create technically correct SUNDIALS & MOON-DIALS, again had management thoughts & leaderships to organizing all the resources to create such a master piece.
