On cludy days r at night it was impssible t tell the time with a sun clck r a sundial. Water clcks were the first clcks nt t use the sun. Water flws (流动) frm ne bttle t anther. When the water reaches a certain level, it shws the hurs. The Egyptians used water clcks abut 3,400 years ag. These clcks were ppular in the Middle East and China. But they failed t make peple knw the exact time.
