I think you set up a circle of stones like Stonehenge.
You know north by the north star and east and west by the sun rises and
sun sets.
As the sun rises at a different location each day the number of days can be
counted for a full 365 1/4 such that the times you seek will be placed
on the calendar.
Highest North East is the start of the calendar.
Lowest South East is end of calendar.
The Solstice and Equinox must be in there at the mid points.
New England stone huts were set up for the start of spring which
would be March the start of the New Year in ancient calendars
until Rome had some fellow named January that they liked and
gave him a month that would start their calendar from now on.
Still everyone wanted to know when spring came to start planting.
Many structures are often set to some celestial event.
The 365 1/4 calendar goes back to 600BC and modern day
scholars say the ancients were just confused before that date
as one noted if not quoting Danial as saying he came out of Exile
with a new calendar. This would mean a celestial change in the
Earth rotation and dynamics.
