Observation and a means to pass on the record. Since the god(s) moved and ruled everything. You were attempting to understand the god(s). To simple. Take a piece of string and pull it tight. Magic, a straight line. Pin an end of the string and tie a scribe to the other end. Now keeping the string tight, scribe or draw a line keeping the string tight. A perfect circle.
