Ancient civilizations considered the forces of nature as gods that resided in the heavens first. Then they counted on these forces/gods to protect them from the darkness of night. finally thy used astronomy to develop agriculture and predict seasons for planting and harvesting. The ancient Egyptians developed the science of astronomy and their "temples" were astronomical observatories. Their gods were associated with astronomical bodies, stars, sun, etc,etc. See J. Norman Lockyer, The Dawn of Astronomy.
