The ancient Greeks were the first civilization linked to magnets, particularly through their discovery of lodestone, a naturally magnetized mineral. Philosophers like Thales of Miletus noted its properties as early as the 6th century BCE. This early understanding laid the groundwork for further exploration of magnetism in later civilizations, including the Chinese, who also recognized and utilized magnetic properties for navigation.
