I found this is Wikipedia!.org:

"The earliest sundials known from the archaeological record are obelisks (3500 BC) and shadow clocks (1500 BC) from ancient Egypt and Babylon!. Presumably, humans were telling time from shadow-lengths at an even earlier date, but this is hard to verify!. In roughly 700 BC, the Old Testament describes a sundial — the "dial of Ahaz" mentioned in Isaiah 38:8 and II Kings 20:11 — which was likely of Egyptian or Babylonian design!. Sundials are believed to have existed in China since ancient times, but very little is known of their history!.

The ancient Greeks developed many of the principles and forms of the sundial!. Sundials are believed to have been introduced into Greece by Anaximander of Miletus, c!. 560 BC!. According to Herodotus, the Greeks sundials were initially derived from the Babylonian counterparts!. The Greeks were well-positioned to develop the science of sundials, having founded the science of geometry, and in particular discovering the conic sections that are traced by a sundial nodus!. The mathematician and astronomer Theodosius of Bithynia (ca!. 160 BC-ca!. 100 BC) is said to have invented a universal sundial that could be used anywhere on Earth!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, it was the Egyptians!. Before them primitive sundials had been used by the Babylonians and Sumerians!.
