I once asked a believer that "Joshua stopped the Sun for a day" why it has not been recorded by community histories around the world.
He said "They used to work in fields in those days, so they would just continue to work until sunset".

As a.description of an eclipse, seems.l completely plausable to me.

Can an eclipse last for 24 hours? Would people not notice?
