Sundial
The Mesopotamian people invented many important and useful technologies still being used today. The Sumerians invented the sundial. The sundial was a more accurate tool to estimate the time by using the Sun. The sundial is the oldest known device for the measurement of time and the most ancient of scientific instruments. It is based on the fact that the shadow of an object will move from one side of the object to the other as the sun “moves” from east to west during the day.
