I've recently spend a few weeks in a region without light pollution and mostly clear night sky. An experience I probably share with every six year old kid which lived some thousands years ago. Even if I put all math I've learned aside it was clear the sky rotates. The band of stars we call Milky Way took same place every night. I can imagine after a few month the moon's behavior appears obvious and after a few years seasons, the sun and constellations start to match too. Perhaps people recognizing this pattern told it every next generation because this is powerful knowledge. It doesn't need much to accidentally find geographic features indicating the longest or shortest day. The moment someone artificially build such a monument he gained the power of prediction - the stars followed his words, provable every night and day. I wish every kid had the opportunity to spend a night awake and follow with open eyes our home galaxy moving over the night sky. After a week they can name the planets.
