Yeah, sitting outside a lot chatting it would drive me nuts that the sun set slightly off each day and I would pester everyone who would listen to me about it until satisfactory answers were found. I’d be like “and then it just stops and goes back the other way! I am going to roll this rock out into a field and this other rock to sit on and put smaller rocks to mark the horizon until next spring!” And people would call me crazy and ask me why I care about such stupid things when I should be a good little villager having babies and skinning animals like a normal person.
You can be in charge of the narrative, I am busy rolling boulders. Just don’t kill anything in the name of the sun we can’t eat, ok? Ethically sourced sacrifices only please.
you’d know because the sun would have appeared to move laterally wrt the horizon throughout the year and you know what time it is each day based on the sun’s apparent vertical movement.
