When was the sundial made?

Answer 1

No one knows for sure. But, it was the Mesopotamians. Most likely the Babylonians. They invented it in B.C. of course, but the accurate date is still unknown. The internet has so many answers, how do we know which one is really true?

Answer 2

Approximately 5000 BC - 3500 BC

The sundial is the oldest known device for the measurement of time and the most ancient of scientific instruments. It is based on the fact that the shadow of an object will move from one side of the object to the other as the sun "moves" from east to west during the day.

The first device for indicating the time of day was probably the gnomon. It consisted of a vertical stick or pillar; the length of the shadow it cast gave an indication of the time of day. It was "invented" in 5000-3500 BC.

Answer 3

The first sundial was invented in 609 BCE by the Neo-Babylonian Empire.
