[edit] stone "was laid" at a particular minute?

Moved from Talk:Main Page

Clocks in the 12th century were not very accurate. I rewrote the text in the Charles Bridge article to make clear that this 5:31 a.m. is a "specified time". If they got it right to the nearest five minutes, then they were probably doing pretty good for that era. We do not know what really happened, but I suppose there is no need to change the text. That is, unless we care about reporting "the Truth". -- 75.26.5.242 00:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
