During the years of time these were not only the clouds and the behaviour of the animals from which people drew conclusions concerning with the weather, but also from the changed characteristics of the objects. In this way they prepared the simplest "meteorological appliances": the humidity meter which was based on the lenghtening feature of the hair, or the pressure meter which operated on the basis of the changes in the stiffness of the blown bladder of a pig.

Certainly, people observed the celestial bodies as well. They observed the journey of the Sun, and the Moon also got a significant role in the counting of time. During the night, the stars helped orientation. The mastery of stars was the privilege of the shepherds and the seamen. All of them named the constellations according to their lifestyles and beliefs.

Astrology evolved. It was thought that the stars had and an influence on the fate of people and that they would also disclose it. Man recognized the changes of the light of the Moon at a quite early phase, and the time was divided according to this. The 28 day-long period between two full moons became the month, which was divided further into 7 day-long weeks on the basis of the newmoon, the first quarter, the full moon and the last quarter. The lives of people were determined by the growing of plants, the farming and the procedures of grazing. "The beginning and the end of the agricultural year were made memorable by various rites, in this way the illustrious days, the feasts, were born which became inseparable from the calendar year."
