An Observatory Built Into a Hillside

Ulugh Beg's observatory, built around 1420, contained a marble sextant roughly 40 metres in radius sunk into the rock. With it he measured the length of the year to within about 25 seconds of the modern figure, using no lenses at all.

The clock: Samarkand keeps UTC+5. The catalogue Ulugh Beg produced here listed 1,018 stars and was not bettered anywhere for two centuries.
