Why the foucault pendulum demonstrated in 1851?

WHAT did Foucault's pendulum demonstrate in the year 1851 C.E. ? It confirmed for many and demonstrated the rotation of the earth on it's axis. The principal of the earth's rotation was proven by suspending a "pointed pendulum" with it's tip & terminus just barely in contact with a smooth level area of sand. The pattern changes overtime, this can only happen if the earth is rotating. This apparatus is elegant in it's simplicity and irrefutable proof of earth rotation.
