The Faceless Enigma

The earliest clocks used the position of the sun to tell time, with a 'face' that cast a shadow instead of moving hands.

Coins have had two faces (obverse and reverse) for over 2,600 years, since the ancient Kingdom of Lydia.

Puppets are one of the oldest forms of entertainment, dating back to Ancient Egypt around 2000 BC.

The modern 12-hour clock face likely originated from the Ancient Egyptians' division of the night into 12 parts.
