Babylonian Calendar

I want to go back to theBabylonian Calendar!They started the 12 Monthcalendarand added a13 Monthevery 17 to 19 years called a Intercalary Month to keep the calendar consistent with the cycles of theMoon.They also started giving aDay Of The Monthoff to all of its citizens.Counting from the new moon, the Babylonians celebrated every seventh day as a "holy-day", also called an "evil-day," meaning "unsuitable" for prohibited activities. On these days officials were prohibited from various activities and common men were forbidden to "make a wish", and at least the 28th was known as a "rest-day." - Wikipedia -But the part that intrigues me the most is that their calendar was only360 Days Long!They would celebrate the beginning of the new year by having a party from the end of the previous calendar year,For 5 Days!As told byBill NyeonCosmic Queries.https://castbox.fm/vd/90281674 This is,Saying I Would Love A 5 Day Party If I Was 20 Years Old Again,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“And to think of this great country in danger of being dominated by people ignorant enough to take a few ancient Babylonian legends as the canons of modern culture. Our scientific men are paying for their failure to speak out earlier. There is no use now talking evolution to these people. Their ears are stuffed with Genesis.”
- Luther Burbank -
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
