? ? ? ? ? The first calendar Part-1
? ? ? ? ? 最早的日歷
? ? Future historians will be in a unique position when they come to record the history of our own times. They will hardly know which facts to select from the great mass of evidence that steadily 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 attempting to 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.

? 未來的歷史學家在寫我們這一段歷史的時候會別具一格图甜。對于逐漸積累起來的龐大材料枫笛，他們幾乎不知道選取哪些好，而且，也不必完全依賴文字材料垦垂。電影叨橱、錄像攻谁、光盤和光盤驅(qū)動器只是能為他們提供令人眼花繚亂的大量信息的幾種手段。他們能夠身臨其境般地觀看我們做事轧叽，傾聽我們講話苗沧。但是，歷史學家企圖重現(xiàn)遙遠的過去可是一項艱巨的任務炭晒，他們必須根據(jù)現(xiàn)有的不充分的線索進行推理待逞。即使看起來微不足道的遺物，也可能揭示人類早期歷史的一些有趣的內(nèi)容网严。
歷史學家迄今認為日歷是隨農(nóng)業(yè)的問世而出現(xiàn)的识樱，因為當時人們面臨著了解四季的實際需要，但近期科學研究發(fā)現(xiàn)震束，好像這種假設是不正確的怜庸。
