Another fun bit from the epic of Shirin Mama: the storyteller says that the hunting people of the old days measured time by the length of cooking different animals.

E.g. cooking a sparrow is a few minutes, cooking a rabbit is half an hour, cooking a sheep is one hour, etc.

(Honestly, genius)

Now I am wondering what the modern equivalent of this time keeping system would be... 😄 "Alright, I'll see you in two quesadillas and a pop tart!"
