So in some books I read I hear about getting up at 5 am for sunrise... Now I have children and get them on the bus every morning and work starts at sunrise in summer that's nearly 630 depending on the year but not much earlier. Did the hour of the day used to be different IE what we see as noon used to be 2 or whatever. Or did they not do enough research and made the books completely inaccurate. I've seen it in several books but the names elide me currently. It's been a long day and this weird question popped up and I had to ask before I forgot it again... Thx ahead of time and sorry if this is a ridiculous question.
