How did ancient people tell time?

◆Natural ways of keeping time

◆Man-made things

The sand clock is made of two glass balls joined by a narrow neck．The top ball was filled with sand．The sand slowly moved through the neck into the bottom（底部）ball．People knew the time by watching how much sand fell to the bottom hall．People also made the water clock．They made a small hole near the bottom of a pot．when the water in the pot dripped（滴）out，marking（刻度）inside the pot showed how much time passed．
