How are you defining year? Plenty of cultures used their own calendars to keep track of years, many of which we have coordinated with our own to determine dates. Care to elaborate?

hi! you're basically asking about all people that ever existed anywhere. This kind of "throughout history" question is against the rules here (because there are an infinite number of answers, so no-one can fully answer it), but rather than remove it, I'll direct you to these sections of the FAQ*, which can get you started:

• Other dating systems

• How did the world agree on what year it is? - includes a link to a recent AskHistorians podcast

If you still have questions about a specific ancient culture (or people living in a region during some period), consider posting a new question, so it will catch the eye of someone who specializes in that subject.
