Ancient Astronomy Play Land
The astrological and astronomical park had all sorts of cool huge instruments. It had everything from determining your horoscope to checking to see how close the solstice is. The best part, without a doubt, had to be the BIGGEST SUN DIAL IN THE WORLD! Yeah! It was incredible and had accuracy to about 18 seconds. There were smaller sun dials too that were still as large as a merry go round.
Apparently the ruler at the time was into astrology and astronomy and had 5 similar observatories constructed around the region with this one being the largest. It made sense to me, I’d be building big sun dials too if I had the money.
