10 Ridiculously Complicated Ways People Used to Tell Time
Before smartphones and wristwatches, telling time required a little more ingenuity—and a lot more moving parts. From burning candles with nails to intricate hydraulic machines powered by flowing water, ancient and medieval societies developed bizarrely creative timekeeping systems. These methods were often wildly elaborate, borderline ceremonial, and sometimes only accurate within a half-hour window. Still, they worked (mostly), and some were surprisingly beautiful. Here are 10 of the most complicated, charmingly impractical ways people used to measure time before the quartz revolution.

From Allies to Adversaries: Iran and Israel’s Tumultuous Journey
For much of the 20th century, the relationship between Iran and Israel was defined more by quiet cooperation than conflict. In the decades following World War II, Iran under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi quietly aligned with Israel as part of a broader pro-Western axis in the Middle East. Despite Iran’s majority Muslim population, the Shah maintained clandestine diplomatic and economic ties with Israel, including arms deals, oil sales, and intelligence sharing. These links served the strategic interests of both nations during the Cold WaThis hidden alliance was abruptly shattered in 1979 with the Islamic Revolution. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini led the overthrow of the Shah, replacing the monarchy with an Islamic Republic built on anti-Western, anti-Zionist ideology. Almost overnight, Israel transformed from a quiet partner into a sworn enemy in Iranian rhetoric. Tehran severed ties with Tel Aviv, and “Death to Israel” became a fixture of official Iranian discourse. In the place of diplomacy, Iran began supporting armed groups hostile to Israel—most notably Hezbollah in Lebanon and later Hamas in Gaza.

The Island That Sparked a War of Flags
It began with a rumble—deep, inhuman, and ancient. Off the coast of Sicily, fishermen cast their nets into calm waters, only to haul them back reeking of sulfur, knotted with scorched fish and black, glassy fragments of stone. The sea hissed and bubbled. The sky dimmed. Birds vanished. Even livestock onshore kicked and bucked in their pens.
