The Sharm El-Sheikh Museum highlighted a water clock in its collection dating to the Late Period of ancient Egypt, which was probably used to measure the hours of the night. Water seeped out through an opening near the bottom of the vessel, and the elapsed time was read from the falling water level against markings on the inside.

The ancient Egyptians divided the night into 12 hours, whose lengths varied with the season, so the Karnak vessel had 12 graduations, one for each month.
