HovpoH Timeline

On this page, you will find a timeline of select events, with their dates and (when available) times converted into HovpoH. Events that do not have an exact time available are assumed to have taken place at noon in the area of the event. It is presented as a table, as this is the only way I could think of to present it neatly. }}: )
Useless HovpoH facts:

1 HovpoH is equal to 5 hours, 50 minutes and 39 secs.
24 hours is equal to 4.1 {HovpoHmey}.
One-tenth of a HovpoH is about 35 minutes.
Here is another site that offers alternative timekeeping systems.
So, without further ado,

Then, for a long time, nothing happened...

10/12/1492 Colombus lands in the New World.
If you're wondering why a HovpoH for a 500-year-old event is larger than the current one, that means you're paying attention!

HovpoH 934194.7

08/27/1536 17:17:31 GMT The HovpoH Millenial Rollover

04/12/1633 Galileo Galilei is charged with heresy.
Galileo's support of the Heliocentric Theory got him in trouble with the Inquisition, a notoriously rough bunch of guys. He was forced to publicly recant his statements, and was sentenced to life in prison. Due to his advanced age, however, they allowed him to serve his time under house arrest at his villa in Florence. He dies in 1642. He is eventually pardoned. (See below).
