Ancient civilizations created water clocks to measure time based on the flow of water. Water clocks allowed people to track time more accurately for activities like farming, cooking, and religious ceremonies. They were a simple and reliable way to divide the day into smaller units.

Oh, dude, the water clock was like the OG clock, you know? It was all about water flowing and telling time way back in ancient times. Then came the good ol' mechanical clocks, like the cuckoo clocks and grandfather clocks. So, technically, the water clock was like the grandpa of all clocks!
The first water clock was used in Egypt in 1500 BC. They found one in the tomb of Amenhotep I.

The ancient civilization that is credited with inventing the clock is the Sumerians. They were thought to have created the clock's hour system with 24 hours and 60 minutes and the first clock prototypes known as sundials.
Ctesibius (Ancient Egypt) invented the water clock in 400 B.C.
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.
