Created by the Celestials, Eternals are a group of superbeings sent to Earth seven thousand years ago to defend it from the Deviants. So naturally, they have witnessed a lot of significant events throughout human history.

In a new ScreenRant article, Eternals costume designer Sammy Sheldon Differ and costume effects supervisor Ivo Coveney have explained how flashbacks to the Aztecs featured in the film will fit into the MCU timeline.
