Anaximander along with Thales are recognized
as the founders of Mathematical Geography
The Geek world became richer with the ushering
in of a sundial from Babylon by Anaximander.
Its working is explained in the following verse
Sundial
* Anaximander was a disciple of Thales
in Miletus

Wait my friends I will give you more
Thanks for entering my yellow door**
I will make you walk with me for sure
A healthy walk will be the best cure
Of boredom in life a nagging wife
A sore throat to doctor's knife
See the world as I show thee
Dream of places along with me
** Sorry friends, the door has gone for a makeover
as the founders of Mathematical Geography
The Geek world became richer with the ushering
in of a sundial from Babylon by Anaximander.
Its working is explained in the following verse
Sundial
Babylon's Gnomon
Behold the shadow Time it shows Nature's Marvel And no extra bill |
Greek world shown
Lead by AnaxiAll can see
Is simply a pole
Set in a hole
Time be told
As shadow rolled
And grows at will
But at noon be nil
Is Solaris magic
And the sundial ticks
in Miletus

Dream of places along with me
