Calendar

[mbarrick]

Ten 36-day months, each with five seven-day weeks. The last day of each month is a holiday. The left-over five/six days at the end of the year are a holiday. The year begins the day after the winter solstice so new year's eve night, the culmination of the year-end holday, would be the longest night of the year.

Question for you

Why in the 8th century bc did almost all cultures on earth finally en masse change or modify their calendars from a 360 to a 365 day year? The knowledge existed with the Sumerians as far back as 2400 bc and in the case of the Egyptians way back in 4236.
