Well, ..., no neither Uranus or Neptune are visible to the naked eye. Uranus and Neptune were discovered for their interactions with other planets. Uranus for it's affect on Saturn and Neptune for it's affect on Uranus. The perturbation in Neptune's orbit let to the now famous "Search for Planet X" which ended in the discovery of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Nope. Good, determine that. Uranus is barely naked eye visible with a depressing sky, beneath the right circumstances, but is so dim that it do not have stood out in the experience that the closer planets do. But, there is additionally no (non-fraudulent) proof that the Mayans or the Sumerians knew of Uranus, let by myself Neptune. As an alternative, pseudoarchaeologists wish to take indistinct graphics out of their total context and interpret them with a special bias... And that bias is normally ZOMG historical ALIENS! Calling such interpretations "a little of a attain" is an understatement. Uranus used to be found out in 1781, Neptune in 1846.

Uranus and Neptune are not visible to the naked eye but all of the other planets are, at least some of the time.
