About Pharaos used this clock to indicate time. It is a Water Clock made of alabaster. Each point represents an hour. Later on they discovered that it was not accurate because of Evaporation. They further invented another clock which is the sand clock.

Aha, so this is taken looking down into the "bottle"? Fascinating. Thanks for the explanation. I would never have guessed. I thought it was some kind of flat disk that was rotated by a stream of water but I couldn't think how that would be accurate enough for time keeping.

Dear Roger , consider it as a bottle of water with a small hole at the bottom , and there is 12 level indicators ( represnted by the black dots on the image ) , it was designed on the way that the water level drop to the next indicator every hour , they was refill it twice a day .

It's an attractive picture and an interesting story but the physicist in me wants to know how it worked, which isn't at all obvious!

Thanks for sharing.. it's a very interesting subject... & good insight into other cultures.
