Ok, ill look again then, im at school up in the country so maybe i can see them. But to answer you question again, perhaps ancient people did see the moons of Jupiter but they would have no way of distinguishing the moons from the stars unless they watched for days like you did. And I think people of the world before Galileo who didn't have much of a concept of celestial spheres simply didn't know what to look for and if they saw them at all they didn't see them as moons.
we know that the four galilean moons of Jupiter have not been discovered before Galileo when he used his first telescope, but knowing that those four moons are already seen by the naked eye, can anybody tell me why the humanity couldn't know them before, or why couldn't Galileo discover the moons without any telescope???
@imafish16 have you already watched carefully Jupiter for many days then found nothing or just like to take people for silly just like that?! I used to watch thoroughly its area, and there were indeed 4 special objects that change position nearly everyday may be more. Besides that try to search some sites treating objects that are seen to the naked eye, I already found one, so do you understand?
@azerwxcv To tell the truth, Once after looking at Jupiter and its moons through binoculars for a while, i could pretty much see the moons with my naked eyes. i couldn't see the actual white dots but it was like the moons made jupiter's twinkle brighter where i knew the moons were, like they pulled the light there way. However i dont think any ancient person could have known seen jupiter's moons without a telescope because they wouldn't know what to look for
@imafish16 No without any tool, just with your very naked eyes, you can indeed see the four celestial objects, provided of course there is no light pollution in your area, like in the countryside, they are a little distanced from jupiter, their distances vary differently from an object to another, they look like far stars, but sooner you can distinguish them easily from any other object, but you need to watch them carefully for many days, I'm serious.

When 19 hours and 40 minutes passes on Earth, 2 and a half days pass on Jupiter :)

The diameter of Jupiter is more than 11 times that of Earth and almost 1,500 times the volume. It has about 60 known moons and may have ALOT more.

wrong, it's a lot bigger than that and only has 16 moons

Look it up, most etimates put the number of moons at more than 60 and most etimates put Jupiter at 13, 14 and 15 hundred times the Earth's volume.

it's nice to know someone actually used the Quicktime output menu option on Starry Night for something constructive.
