History of an international bath day has dominated international bath day history

Legend has it that Greek mathematician, scientist, and scholar, Archimedes discovered while bathing in water that an object's volume could be accurately measured by being submerged in water on this day. ''s true volume can be determined by being submerged in water! "Eureka, Euka!" Archimedes burst out of the bathtub and yelled, "Eureka, Euka!" as he walked through Syracuse, Greece, Greece's streets. Archimedes' birthdate is uncertain. No one knows the exact date of his birth. We do know he was born in the year 287BC, but we do know he was born in the year 287BC. We celebrate Archimedes' birthday by a leapt out of the bathtub on June 14th.

How was this date established? It was exactly one week before the start of summer, according to the ancient Greek legend. In those days, the Greeks followed an astronomical calendar, and they estimated the seasons based on the Earth's rotational axis' tilt in relation to its orbit around the sun's 23.5 degrees. On June 21st, the Summer began (then and today) on June 21st. This was the week leading up to June 14th, and this was the date set.
