The two known ancient Israelite directional systems are sun-oriented, specifically oriented toward the rising sun. The Temple of Solomon was oriented so that on equinox day the first rays went through the temple doors. Lehi was also likely aware of the Northern constellations which would just be lower on the horizon in the Americas compared to Jerusalem. The directional glyphs found in Classic Maya inscriptions and in Postclassic Maya codices are based on the route of the sun across the sky.
