The culture that i chose to research about their astronomical knowledge and accomplishments is the Mayans. The Mayans believed that astronomy should be a big part of their society and they did just that they had it involved with their religious beliefs the reason they did that was because as quoted in the article Starteach Astronomy “ this ancient science reflected order in the universe and the gods' place in it.” This basically is saying that astronomy explained everything in their society. The people that the mayans put in charge to study astronomy were the priest in the mayan communities they were in charge of studying the heaven, part of their religion they were considered very intelligent they believed that they could predict the future
