Sundial

View of an ancient sundial that was discovered at Knidos. In the opinion of this commentator that in style this almost looks like a theater seat. The "gnomon" is obviously a modern stick placed where the original gnomon was placed.

This sundial would have to have been placed in a permanent position—the current position is modern—but, for what it is worth, this picture was taken at 11:54 AM (Turkish time) on 29 May 2010.
