The ancient Egyptians divided the day into 24 hours. There are diagrams of circles divided into 24 sections in the astronomical ceiling in the tomb of Senemut.

Sundials use some or all of the 24 hour dial, because they measure the position of the sun in the sky. Sometimes, for artistic rather than practical reasons, all the 24 hour marks are shown.

Medieval clocks often used the 24-hour analog dial, influenced by the widespread example of the astrolabe

It would be easier for people to understand what time it was. For example, 12:00pm to us is 24:00 to them because it's easier for them to not remember am and pm.
