Lesson 38 The first calender 最早的日历
Future historians will be in a unique position when they come to record the history of our own
accumulates. What is more, they will not have to rely solely on the written word. Films,
videos, CDs and CD-ROMS are just some of the bewildering amount of information they will
have. They will be able, as it were, to see and hear us in action. But the historian attemptingto reconstruct the distant past is always faced with a difficult task. He has to deduce
what he can from the few scanty clues available. Even seemingly insignificant remains can
shed interesting light on the history of early man.
Up to now, historians have assumed that calendars came into being with the advent of
agriculture, for then man was faced with a real need to understand something about the
seasons. Recent scientific evidence seems to indicate that this assumption is incorrect.
