idk. Some people in historical eras could predict them pretty well. A bunch of old monuments and big rocks are designed to line up with different astronomical dates. Maybe people thought it was super weird and scary, or maybe they were just like "Huh, I guess moon just passed over the sun. Wild. Hey grandpa you know any stories about this?"
I'm sure it was shocking and frightening if you didn't know it could happen.
