How was time created, time means changing state, without time there is no change. So in order for a change to happen in the existence of time you'd need a further time dimension; then you're just shifting the problem up the stack.

Creation of time requires a meta-universe of some sort. Though perhaps there's some other way to conceive time not existing further back than a given point that works around creation being something that's done within a temporal dimension.

Although in that case, barring any meta-universe to provide a defintion of time beyond time, time must simply be.

Or not be, but I think we can rule that one out.

It is no different from the question how any other dimension suddenly existed. Time and space are connected.
