People used the sun, stars, and water to count days and hours. Imagine watching the sun go up and down every day, that’s how they knew a day was over. Some people even filled big pots with water and let it drip out slowly, like a tiny clock!
Examples
- A farmer noticed that the sun rises every morning, that’s how they knew when to plant seeds.
- A kid watched a shadow on a wall get longer as the day went on, that was their clock.
- Water trickled from one pot to another, and people used it like an hourglass for parties.
