What did the ancient egyptians invent to keep track of records?
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.

What came first the Egyptian sun clock or the Egyptian water clock?
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.
Romans what role did they play in the measurement of time?
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.

It was an old fashion water clock. As a method of telling time, the Sun could be considered the oldest clock in the world.

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.
