About the time in Carthage
Around 2,500 people live in Carthage, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Carthage sits at latitude 41.92, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:11 and sunset at 07:49 local time, giving 13h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.92, -89.31) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Carthage.
