Because Mars is visible to the naked human eye it is impossible to know who was actually the first person to view it. For that reason, Mars has never technically been "discovered". However, the ancient Egyptians are known to have labeled the planet, 'Har Deucher' (translated as 'The Red One') and the Babylonians in around 400 BC recalled the planet as 'Nergal' (translated as 'The Star of Death'). Certainly, for as long as mankind has been gazing skyward he has been observing our red neighbor.
