People have always known that some of the lights in the sky (the planets visible to the naked eye) move differently than the stars. (The stars all appear to move together, as the earth moves, but the planets move independently of the stars, of the earth, and of each other.) So people have always known about Mars in that sense. But it wasn't until later that people discovered that Mars was a ball of rock, like earth.
