As far as I have been able to determine, we got the 24-hour day from the ancient Egyptian and Babylonian astronomers, who divided the daylight period into 10 hours, plus one hour for twilight and one link for dawn. This was based on the apparent motion of the Sun in the sky, and eventually, these long-gone link stargazers settled link on a group of stars which could be used to divide the night into hours as well.

The Christmas-morning excitement caused by the impending arrival of any timepiece was increased by the intense "ages link 5 and up" link vibes of this particular item. When the package came the clock's various components were plastic link and stiff and brightly colored and packaged into see-through plastic envelopes which I dumped out onto my coffee table.
