Best Answer

The clock is one of the oldest human inventions. Water clocks, also known as clepsydrae along with the sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. The bowl-shaped outflow is the simplest form of a water clock and is known to have existed in Babylon and in Egypt around the 16th century BC. However, it is believed that water clocks appeared as early as 4000 BC in India and China.
