Title: History of Calendars Quest 1/4 - 1/5
Post by: Purpleduck on January 04, 2009, 06:36 AM

VFK History of Calendars Quest!

7:00 AM Pacific Time Sunday, January 4th, 2009 to 10:00 PM Pacific Time Monday, January 5th, 2009.

 
Calendars have come about due to the need to know how long it would be before it was time for the harvest, or for a religious festival, or how many days it was until an important event happened. Early calendars were heavily influenced by the geographic location of the people creating the calendar. For people from cold regions the year was largely defined by the cycle of the seasons. In warmer areas where there was little indication of the seasons, the moon was more important in determining the time of year. For our quest, we will delve back into the origins of the tracking of the days and years and the history of our modern calendars.

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and a Snowy Bay Window!
