How did the Egyptians make water clocks?
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. See related links for more information about Egyptian Water Clocks.

History of Clocks?
Clocks history has a long chain of development. Accounts differ on exactly how clock history developed over the years. All agree, however, on three main clock history milestones: sundials, water clocks, and pendulum clocks. Clocks that use the sun to tell time are known as sundials. Invented around 3,500 BA, this historical clock was a flat, circular disc with number markings around the perimeter. A thin rod or straight edge called a style protrudes out of the center of the sundial. Depending on what time of day it is will determine how the shadow created by the sun on the style will fall on the sundial disc numbers. Whatever number the shadow edge falls upon, that is the time of day. In order to tell the correct time, this historical clock must be in line with the earth’s axis. Telling time by night with a sundial is impossible, since the clock depends on the sun. Water clocks were invented about 1400 BC. Invented by the Egyptians, this historical clock functioned with two containers of water, with one higher than the other. A tube connected the two water clock containers, and water traveled from the top container to the bottom one. Both containers had number markings on them. Depending on what mark the water was at in each container determined the time of day. A water clock could also be used at night, and they were more accurate than sundials. Clock history then yields the pendulum clock in 1656, after two failed attempts at similar clocks in 1510 and 1577. A pendulum moves a wheel with teeth in this historical clock by swinging back and forth from left to right. Earlier models in clock history had the pendulum swinging very far, but the area lessened over time. At first, the pendulum clock would stop after a while and would have to be restarted. But by 1840, batteries were added to clock history. After the pendulum clock came the rest of modern clock history, with the addition of electricity.
