00:00What if I told you that one day in history time itself went missing?
00:05In 1890, British and American historians discovered something strange.
00:11Ancient records from multiple civilizations, Egyptians, Chinese, Mayans, all showed a missing day.
00:19One full day that just didn't exist in the timeline.
00:24Fast forward to NASA in the 1970s.
00:27While running astronomical software to predict solar and lunar eclipses for satellite trajectories, they hit a glitch.
00:35Something was off.
00:37They were missing exactly 24 hours in the calendar and couldn't explain it.
00:42The story goes that someone remembered a biblical passage from the book of Joshua.
00:48And the sun stood still and the moon stayed.
00:51Joshua prayed for more time to win a battle.
00:54And allegedly, God stopped time for nearly a full day.
00:59NASA recalculated.
01:01And shockingly, the program adjusted correctly when they added in the lost day from ancient texts.
01:06A match.
01:09This historical shift demonstrates how timekeeping impacts global culture and societal norms.
01:14Understanding calendar history reveals the complex evolution of measuring and tracking time.
01:23Coincidence?
01:25Religious myth?
01:26Astronomical error?
01:28To this day, no one knows for sure.
01:31But somewhere in history, a full day may have gone missing.
