"The 12:00 on your digital device is not the same as the Solar Noon (as per a a sun dial), to calculate the digital time for your Solar Noon check out this web-site (see below, thank "gawd" for clever people who can do mathematics that I cannot)"

Calculating local apparent noon takes all the tech of having a stick and knowing which direction the sun comes up. Calculating it takes all the math skill of 8000 BC … probably earlier
