For the Maya civilization, planets and stars were essential for understanding time, agriculture, and religious practices. They meticulously tracked celestial movements to develop a complex calendar system, which helped them determine the optimal times for planting and harvesting crops. Additionally, the Maya believed that celestial bodies influenced human fate and events on Earth, intertwining astronomy with their mythology and rituals. This deep connection to the cosmos was reflected in their architectural designs, often aligning structures with astronomical phenomena.
