Mars is the celestial object in our solar system that has a period of rotation that is most similar to the period of rotation of Earth’s Moon. It is roughly estimated that its rotation is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds, which is almost similar to <span>27.32 days of the Moon.</span>
Actually, the celestial object in our solar system that has the most similar rotation period of the Earth's moon is the Sun itself. It is like this because the moon has become tidally locked to the Earth. The answer is not Mars.
What first comes to my mind is that one or more rivers feature very prominently in these civilizations: the Nile in the Egyptian and the Tigris and Euphrates in the Babylonian.
