During my research into Calendars and Ancestral Astronomy, the Moon was the main protagonist, and it was around its cycles that most of this study and its calculations focused. This was a reality of which I was not always aware, since this research began with a completely abstract configuration, based solely on numbers and numerical series, without being able to recognize exactly what it was. However, later on, when I was able to organize all these numbers and calculations, was when I could confirm that Earth's space-time web is not just Earth's web, but rather the web of both Earth and the Moon.

Astronomy, calendars, planetary events and alignments, the main themes of the Ancestral Astronomy project regarding astronomical practices and methods in ancient cultures. Evidence can be found within the environment, architectural structures, and many other cultural manifestations of ancient civilizations across Planet Earth. However, in this Ancestral Astronomy research, the focus on ancient civilizations is dedicated, in particular, to celestial mechanics established within the space-time of our planet Earth, alongside the Moon and the Sun.

Our clock is one such example, corresponding to a solar day—the complete cycle of Earth's rotation. The best way to understand the concept of Earth's spacetime is through the structure of the clock. It is the instrument that relates the two coordinates of Time and Space, common in astronomy and in daily life on Earth. The clock illustrates, step by step, Earth's path through space and time during its rotational movement.
