The ancients (especially the Egyptians) used the stars to to tell time. The Egyptians used 36 stars to mark the year. They also noticed the Precession of the Equinox, the occasion of the sun rising in due east. They named the stars fields the sun passed through and called them Ages or Eons, e.g. the Age of the lamb, the Fish and the coming Waterman(Aquarius).

The Temple at Denderah contained a Zodiac.

What zodiac does the sun rise in?

The sun rises in OUR zodiac - which is the only one we know. Do you mean which sign? The answer is "all of them". There are 12 signs of the zodiac because there are 12 months in a year. Every month the sun moves into a new sign. (it's really Earth moving through space around the sun that makes it look like the sun is moving through the zodiac). That's why people who are born under the sign of "Aquarius" were born between January 21st and February 21st - that's the sign the sun was in between those dates.
