History Of Anticlockwise Clock: The Sundial
The FIRST ever clock was designed by Egyptians and it is called Sundial. The working of Sundial is based on the rotation of the earth around the sun.
As the earth turns on its axis, the sun appears to move across our sky.The shadows cast by the sun move in a clockwise (hence the definition of clockwise) direction for objects in the northern hemisphere. If the same clock is used in southern hemisphere (Eg.Australia),the shadows cast by the sun move in a anti clockwise direction.
