      An explanation that had not occurred to me, but definitely makes sense in this context.

        A lot of ancient stuff is aligned with celestial phenomena. Pyramids for example have little tunnels that point at specific stars iirc.

        You could say that the roots of science lay in astrology. They spent a lot of time trying to figure it all out.
