Read the text. Then choose the correct answer for each

question below (25-28).

According to archaeological evidence, at least 50,000 years

ago, and long before the advent of the Roman Empire, the

Babylonians began to measure time, introducing calendars to

co-ordinate communal activities, to plan the shipment of

goods and, in particular, to regulate planting and harvesting.

They based their calendars on three natural cycles: the solar

day, marked by the successive periods of light and darkness

as the earth rotates on its axis; the lunar month, following

the phases of the moon as it orbits the earth; and the solar

year , defined by the changing seasons that accompany our

planet's revolution around the sun.

Before the invention of artificial light, the moon had

greater social impact. And, for those living near the equator

in particular, its waxing and waning was more conspicuous

than the passing of the season. Since, the calendars that

were developed at the lower latitudes were influenced more

by the lunar cycle than by the solar year. In more northern

climes, however, where seasonal agriculture was practised,

the solar year became more crucial.
