What did people use to tell time before invention of the clock?
They stuck a stick in the ground and measured the angle and length of the shadow. Other than sundials , which date from 1500 BCE in Egypt, and similar stick devices to read the angle of shadow, people used to tell time from observing the position and shape of the moon which as we know has 30 day cycles. Ancient peoples used times such as dusk and dawn. Another more recent time telling instrument is the clepsydra, which is a water clock that told time by dripping water onto a marked vessel. After the clepsydra, the hourglass was used, which is similar to a clepsydra but more reliable and filled with sand instead of water. Primitive watches were invented in the 1500s, these used weights.
