They invented the 365-day calendar. They used the Sun to keep track of the days throughout the years. They divided the year into 3 seasons of 4 months. Each month had 30 days. Their year had 360 days. The ancient Egyptians also used shadow clocks. The first ones were obelisks. The moving shadows formed a kind of sundial to help tell time. The sundial was then used very often since.
It comes up to -1000 AD Some historians believe that the earliest known clock was invented 4000 years BC. The sundial and the water clock, also called a clepsydrae are the oldest forms of time-telling devices.
People in the beginning used the stars, and the seasons to keep track of time. So there is no one person that discovered time. The first time devices were the sundial, hourglass, and the water clock. In the 1300's is when the first mechanical clock was invented.
One invention still used daily by most of the people of the world is the clock. The Egyptians invented two types of clocks, sun clocks and water clocks. Both were used, and both were useful.Sun clocks were formed by means of the construction of Obelisks, tapering monuments. The clock worked much like a sundial, by watching the moving shadows throughout the day. By doing this, the Egyptians were able to divide the day into morning, afternoon, and night. This invention also led to the discovery of the longest and shortest years, because when seen at noon, depending on the time of year, the shadow would be longer, or shorter.Water clocks were some of the earliest clocks used, but didn�t require the observation of celestial bodies. The earliest one was found in the tomb of the pharaoh Amenhotep I. Water Clocks were like pots made of stones, with long slanting sides that allowed water to drip down at a constant rate through a small hole in the bottom.
The Romans followed the standard sundial method of telling time for the most part. They also had water clocks, but only the wealthy could afford them. In reality, most Romans simply looked up at the sun to see what time it was. Julius Caesar, however, reorganized the calendar for the calculation of dates and years and his calendar, called the Julian calendar, is the basis for our present day calendar.
the sterling silver clock was invented after the sundial
The sundial wasn't portable

A sundial tells the time of day by the position of the sun's shadow.A water clock measures elapsed time by the rate at which water drips into a receptacle.
There is The Sundial, Water Clock, Sand Timer and The old clock. Please note that these are from old days
Egyptians and Babylonians
he made a water clock and a windmill which could grind wheat and corn
they put water in a pot and then they put a arrowin the water and it spins
They developed the first clocks (THE EGYPTIAN WATER CLOCK)
The clepsydra, better known in English as a water clock.
It was an old fashion water clock. As a method of telling time, the Sun could be considered the oldest clock in the world. Just by looking at its position relative to the ground, early humans could tell if it was morning, midday, evening, and nighttime. The sundial was developed as a more accurate way to tell this time, and eventually the water clock, mechanical clock and digital clock came along as steadily more accurate versions.
