  • In this video, Vaclav will teach you how to read Prague Astronomical Clock, step by step.
    You will learn how to read the Old Czech Time, Old German Time, Babylonian Time, and Vaclav will also tell you a little about the Sidereal Time.
    You will also learn why is it called the Astronomical Clock and which heavenly bodies it shows us.
    At the end of the video, you will see how to read the calendar on the clock.
    This is not a full explanation, there are some things we won't cover in this video, but it is so far the most detailed explanation you can find on TH-cam.
    Also, this video was made for people who travel to Prague, not for astronomers :) Don't expect a scientific explanation.
    Sidereal Time:
    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sider...
    Timecodes
    0:00 - Intro
    0:50 - Astrolabe - Introduction to the upper dial
    1:05 - Old Czech Time explanation
    1:50 - Old German Time
    2:23 - Babylonian Time
    3:40 - Sidereel Time
    4:10 - Celestial movements
    5:12 - The Calendar

    Janek. Perhaps you might like to do a video about the current controversy about the clock, namely that the person who restored the clock recently made major changes to many of the artworks on the clock and these changes fundamentally deviated from the original artworks eg changing the gender of one lady.

What is heavenly bodies (angels) that move the sun moon stars etc so they can’t deny GOD, otherwise where is the angels come from? All glory to YAH!! His coming is soon , a blessing to be alive in such a time as this

      Listening to flat Earthers is as amusing as listening to stories of ancient cultures who kept trying to justify an earth-centric model by adding more and more and more complex mechanisms.
      Of course NASA went back in time 500 years to build a dome with unknown tech to fool the ancient clockmakers. They had the technology to do all this, but not land on the moon 🤣🤣🤣

    Research of Gleason's Flat Earth map has brought me to research the Prague Astronomical Clock. The latitudes and longitudes match the 24 analog clock. It's no wonder they want us to us 12 hour analog clock then further convolute things by introducing daylight savings time. It's all a racket. More people are waking up.

  • @Cryptocolt

    The clock time isn’t wrong our Time is wrong each zodiac represents 2147.66 years the original map also showed other lands. It takes over 25,772 years for the clock to complete a full cycle
    The clock tells us our lands change get covered and uncovered over 25,772 years. The clock is amazing

    This clock is for flat earth not a globe. As originally intended, designed & use of its practical application.
    After the great reset it was revised and now has that globe that makes 0 logical sense by all measures of the clock. It’s elliptical shape which differs from all other astronomical clocks having shorter sections is because winter has shorter days.

    • @stuarthayward2220
      @stuarthayward2220 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Because they completely changed one of the dials on the clock and it originally used a Azimuthal Equidistant map, which was depicted as a flat earth. The clock was apparently first restored in 1866 and has been redone four times since.
      Though I doubt most people do the simple research one way or the other. Like yourself, you could have easily answered your own question within three minutes of research but didn’t.
      I personally, don’t know what they earth truly looks like, simply because I’ve never been to outer space.
