When the vessel with the hole was filled with water, they used to strike the ghariyal, a thick brass disc hung at a high place with a mallet. This indicated a certain period of time. The bowl-shaped outflow is the simplest form of a water clock and is known to have existed in India, China, Babylon, and in Egypt thousands of years ago. Historians suggest that pots excavated from Mohenjo Daro might have used as water clocks; they are taped at the bottom, have a hole on the side. The use of the water clock in ancient India is also mentioned in the ...

  There are a lot of things and facts which we don’t know but that was first done by Indians. Isn’t it interesting to know that 3D coordinate system was first introduced by an Indian, that’s why India is called Land of Knowledge! There were a lot of sages and saints who were great scholar, who had more knowledge but the reason we are not aware of that because we have heard anything about them. Bharatvarsha Vachaspati (850 A.D), the doctor of Nyaya (logic), anticipated in a rudimentary gave the principle of co-ordinate (solid) geometry eight centuries before Descartes (1596-1650). Vachaspati’s claims are thus presented: “To conceive position in space, Vachaspati takes three axes, one proceeding from point of sunrise in the horizon to that of sunset, on any particular day (from east to west); a second bisecting this line at right angles on the horizontal plane (from north to south); and third proceeding from point of their section up to the meridian section of the sun on that day...

  There are a lot of secrets and valuable things which are hidden in the Vedas. In Hinduism people have achieved scientific feats centuries before actual scientists theorised those feats.

Any Sloka in the ancient Hindu manuscripts has more than one meaning thats the beauty of it. Studies show that a Sloka in the tenth book of Rig Veda appears to be written to praise Lord Indra and that the technical translation of that Sloka gives the value of Pie upto 28 digits accurately.
