Herodotus, or maybe the Bible, records one of these happening in the middle of one of King Cyrus's important battle.

That fact has tremendous importance in fixing upon precise dates for some of events of ancient history.

Battle of Halys: May 28, 585 BCE

It's the most ancient event that can be dated with such precision.

Turns out Jesus was born 6/7 CE. Census of Quirinius

yup you're right, next time when it happens I'll sneak into the girls shower room and take my camera and a mask(+costume). And when the eclipse is over I'll jump out and take lotsa pictures of their naked bobies XD
