Ever wondered how the Ancient Egyptians kept time? Well, Dr. Sarah Symons from McMaster University wondered about this too. With the help of some of her colleagues, she participated in a research project to find out how they managed time. On April 10, 2019, she presented some of her findings at the RASC, Toronto Centre's Speaker's Night held at the Ontario Science Centre.

For more information, here is a link to Dr. Symons and her team's research website.
