It is interesting to note that the Egyptian water clock actually was invented by Ctesibius, of Greek origin. Because of the unique design of the water clock, it can be made to make sounds like some birds, chiming bells, and other various objects. The basic clock keeps time by allowing water to flow through a small orifice. The water flows from the holding chamber into the measuring bowl, which has markings on the side to denote hours. Some clocks included a float in the bowl that turned a wheel as the water level rose, showing the hours passed since the clock was started.
