Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Maya, Aztec, and Olmec, shared several cultural and architectural traits, including polytheism, advanced agricultural practices, and intricate calendar systems. While the Maya are renowned for their sophisticated writing system and astronomical knowledge, the Aztecs are known for their expansive empire and monumental architecture, such as the Templo Mayor. In contrast, the Olmec, often regarded as the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica, laid the groundwork with their colossal stone heads and early societal structures. Despite these differences, all three civilizations contributed to the rich tapestry of Mesoamerican history through their unique innovations and cultural legacies.

Early civilizations used the position of certain stars for buildings like Mayan pyramids and Greek temples to align them with astronomical events like solstices, equinoxes, or important celestial events, linking their structures to a broader cosmic framework and possibly for religious or ceremonial reasons. By aligning these buildings with specific stars or constellations, these ancient civilizations demonstrated their knowledge of astronomy and sought to establish connections between the earthly and the celestial realms.
Early natural magnets were known as lodestones. These rocks were discovered by ancient civilizations and were the first natural magnets used for navigation and other purposes.
