Using a angle shaped piece of metal that would measure the shadow of the sun, telling you the time of day. It's called a sun dial.
They used sun dials
by the sun
There is an hourglass. There is also a water clock. Sun dials also existed which used the position of the sun and a shadow to tell the time. There were also such things as incense clocks and candle clocks.
The ancient Egyptians were responsible for developing sundials as a timekeeping device that used the sun's shadow to mark the time. They placed a stick in the ground and used the position of the shadow to indicate different hours of the day.
They couldn't tell the time from sundials because there was no sun.
I'm pretty sure they used the sun to tell the time. I hope that helped.They made use of an arrangement called the Sun Dial.Maori used the stars and the natural signs such as fruiting of plants to find the new year.

The Mayans told time by using sun dials which told time based on the positions of the sun
A sundial is a way to tell time without a clock. It uses the sun and positions of shadows to tell the time. These are fairly accurate.
The first method people used to tell time was based on the natural movement of the sun, specifically through the use of sundials. Ancient civilizations observed the position of the sun in the sky, which cast shadows on marked surfaces, indicating the time of day. As technology evolved, water clocks and hourglasses were developed, allowing for more precise time measurement independent of sunlight.
