Realistically there's only cycles and our ability to interpret them, everything else worked out as terrible ideas that didn't really click.
Lot's of cultures figured out the Sun cycle and made it into a calendar, all of those calenders are the same on the account that the solstices and
equinoxes are the same (relative to position) it even seems many had ideas about 1/3 extra but I'm not 100%
The moon has a very similar calendar and the overall tracking of it was probably done independently by a few cultures too. One of them that I've heard
about is the Chaco Culture, seems the whole site at Chaco canyon is based on astronomy and there's evidence they tracked the moon. Here's a link about
what inspired that site
link there's also a good documentary
out there about it too, I can try find it.
Other cultures in written history tracked the moon too, we have zodiacs... Consider them a stellar calendar.
Sun and moon worship can be an iffy subject for some but it's safe to say many have been inspired to track them and they all realised the natural
patterns that are unchanging.
Why did all these cultures do this?
Idk, maybe they were predicting the flat earth crowd and decided to leave obvious signs to the conclusions everyone has in regards to the nature of
earthbound reality. The one that says it's all spinny, circular-ish and roundy.
I say everyone, quite a few in history were rather aggressive about their counter theories.
