Sauron999 has just left Hobbiton.
Sting Ways of time-measurement?

How did the Hobbits or the people in Middle-Earth measure the time of the day? We know that the Shire had its calendar, and that in Gondor they went after the rising of the sun.
But how did they know what an hour was ?
I'm sorry if this has come up already, but I have been away very long.
Does the book say that they used hour glasses or sth like that?
I'm ready to learn, so teach me please [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
