Who made the first catalog of stars and the first of the skies?

The earliest known star catalogue was the "Almagest" compiled by Claudius Ptolemy, a Roman living in Alexandria, Egypt. However, Ptolemy refers to earlier sources that he used, which have not survived. Much of the scientific knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome were lost during the "Dark Ages", from about 500 AD to around 1200 AD. Fortunately, library in then-Muslim Cordova, Spain survived, and much of what we now know was recovered there.

The Sumerians and Egyptians certainly had star maps and catalogs, but these have been lost. The oldest star atlas that we have record of was compiled by the Greek-Egyptian astronomer Claudius Ptolemy about 2000 years ago, and his atlas survived only because it was translated into Arabic 1500 years ago, and was discovered in the libraries of Cordova and Toledo, Spain, when "El Cid" conquered the Arabs and unified Spain.
