The Prague Astronomical Clock

[@Birgeyful]

It originally had a flat earth map in center, (North pole in center)

[@csvaughen]

It is the south pole at center, www.orloj.eu/en/stereograficka_projekce.htm, also need to be careful about "original", we don't have photos from 1400s

[@lisabek72]

​@Christopher Scott Vaughen north is center. Always. I'm sure the newer computer images have changed that. They hide all things true.

@@lisabek72 the south is the north now, they changed it

Great video, really helps one get a better appreciation of the amazing accomplishments of those who lived so many years ago. Incredible.

[@ricofleurima6034]

Thanks for all your time and effort into making this video, I enjoyed it a lot and shared it in a FB group in a topic about the clock for people to discover more about it via your video here!

[@csvaughen]

thank you!!!

[@carolsaller]

Thank you for this wonderful explanation and demonstration! It will make my appreciation of the clock so much great when I visit next month.

"Now, this is a math video, so let's end with a quiz"...What a legend!

[@mistyskies6396]

Wow thank you for this amazing video!! thats magical - im still confused about the day number, im going to watch it again. The end test is really good i love that! TY❤ im still getting the day and time wrong, im determined to learn it. 😃

[@csvaughen]

yes!!! I'm so happy you liked it - and yes it IS confusing - takes a while to get used to

[@mistyskies6396]

@@csvaughen I should say, it’s only because Ive studied Astronomy for a number of years I got it quickly, or some of it… now back to the drawing board.. 😀 You did an excellent job of explaining it, verbally and visually. 🔥 10/10 with Gold Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It would be incredible to see this in relation to true earth (i.e. geocentric ) Thank The Lord Our ancestors were not cosmologically deceived 🙏🏻

[@MusicComposerZenki]

this clock proves a flat earth for the earth is a clock. Because of this clock, all the luminary events can be explained.

[@csvaughen]

it doesn't predict locations where eclipses will be visible

[@MusicComposerZenki]

@@csvaughen when it shows the fases of the moon and we can see both the sun and moon move then it shouldnt be impossible to predict the eclypses

[@MusicComposerZenki]

@@csvaughen furthermore, i believe the cardinal directions are different from what we have been taught. At least the book of enoch tells us that they are (starting at the top) west, north, east, south. With these fixed and using a FE map such as the one from david rumsey. We might be able to figure out the locations as well.

[@csvaughen]

@@MusicComposerZenki it's an interesting topic, to learn more we can test theories with falsifiable predictions. Check out this video on eclipses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZvFlphpd92SrtUsi=sTwLJmhMx8Y83jwz which also reminds me of one of my own videos on the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3SXYZ56paZ8bq8

[@dougevans2746]

I did the quiz! :) I did okay. I struggled on the "day" ...You had mentioned that they're broken into approx 5 day increments so for the first example, I choose Pieces/Feb-Mar correctly but, thought it was the end of the month because the sun was rising though the last 6th of the section. What did I miss? :(

[@csvaughen]

Yes thanks for your interest - determining the day is super challenging for sure - I can only do it after carefully consulting the zodiac table- it is complicated by the fact that the signs each begin and end around the 20th of each month. So for the first example in the quiz, if we see the sun is about two increments past the dividing line between Aquarius and Pisces, moving from Aquarius to Pisces, and if we know Aquarius ends about Feb 20, and we consider two increments of 5 days each counting forward, and that puts at the 1st or 2nd of March. I imagine you could only do this mentally if you had to do so regularly.

It's the clock telling the truth.

[@lisabek72]

The ancient clock says it all...

[@TalesofaRedneck]

On the old painting inside the clock, there is a map of the known world. 600 years ago, how did thy know about America?

[@csvaughen]

good question, the basic design has been the same but the image on the face has changed over time - most recently in 2018 www.orloj.eu/en/orloj_historie.htm www.npr.org/2022/06/14/1104602282/pragues-famous-clock-was-restored-4-years-ago-then-someone-spotted-the-differenc
