I think it was the Babylonians that created the hour/minute/second and a precursor of the meter on the process. It’s high-tech bronze-age innovation, that got hyped-out so much that it took the entire Old-World by storm, so the Egyptians got them too.
Didn’t the Egyptians figure it out? Or someone before them was like “SHADOWS! SHADOWS THEN! SHADOWS NOW!”
