Ancient Egyptians built a sundial which has a stick in the middle casting a shadow behind it telling the point of the sun A.K.A. time of day. I want to answer more questions so count on me to answer them ill do my 2 minute research and done. Kevin G. out. P.S. Hi Kaylin and Evelyn!!
In ancient Egypt, sundials were used to measure time by tracking the shadow cast by the sun, marking hours during the day. The water clock, or clepsydra, was employed in various cultures, including ancient China and Greece, where water would flow at a consistent rate to measure time intervals. In Mesopotamia, the shadow clock, a type of sundial, was used, while ancient Indian civilizations utilized the gnomon, a vertical stick that cast shadows to indicate time. Each of these devices reflects the ingenuity of early civilizations in their quest to understand and measure the passage of time.
