The Mayas and the Roman Empire invented a calendar, they were so advanced in astronomy. On the other hand, both had their own systems to write: Mayas had hieroglyphs and the Roman Empire Latin. Finally, both cultures were polytheistic, which means that believed in many Gods.

Answer:
This speech sets the mood for the horrible events which will follow...namely the murder of Duncan, which leads to the murders and deaths of so many others.
It prepares the audience for what is to come, teaches them about Lady Macbeth's character and what she is capable of, and also informs the audience as to the type of person Macbeth is. We know, for instance, from her speech, that he would not come up with the idea of murdering Duncan on his own and he certainly would not go through with this plan if she were not there to give him "courage".
The speech also sets up the theme of gender roles--Lady Macbeth at the beginning is more of the pants-wearing character by her own character analysis than her husband who is, according to her, "too full of the milk of human kindness" to do anything against his beloved King.
Setting these two up as strong vs. weak at the beginning makes for interesting comparisons later in the play when Lady Macbeth becomes weaker and more human...guilt-ridden and suicidal and when Macbeth begins planning murders without the help of his horrid wife.
Without that speech, the play would be a very different being. It is essential to not only the plot but character development.

Answer:
I found this cute story
Ed Whitlock, an 85-year-old Canadian engineer, set a new 42.195km world record in the 85-90 year old category at the last Toronto Marathon: his final time was 3 hours and 56 minutes, over half an hour shorter than the previous record. At the end of the race the Canadian did not even appear too tired, only regret not having taken 6 minutes less.
"I was aiming for 3 hours and 50, but after halfway through the race I realized it was too difficult", this was his statement, while he complained with a smile of "pain in the legs". Those legs that allowed him to reach an enviable time by runners of all ages in the 2004 Toronto Marathon, which he finished in under 3 hours - exactly, 2 hours, 54 minutes and 49 seconds - at just 73 years old!
And he started running at 40, an age that often coincides with the retirement of professional runners, who instead for him, thanks to so much tenacity and willpower, marked the starting point to crush record after record. When asked what he will do when he grows up, he replies: "Nobody knows when the time for the last race will come, but I will continue to run as long as I can."
