Happy arbitrary year line.
One of the first truly scientific calendars was the Egyptian
calendar. According to this calendar, a year comprised of 12 months,
and each month had exactly 30 days. The months were further divided
into three weeks, with each week lasting 10 days. Later on, the
Babylonian calendar was developed, and it was a lunisolar calendar.
The years in this calendar were made up of 12 lunar months, and each
month would begin when a new crescent moon appeared.
The first Roman calendar was created by Romulus, and it had 10
months in a year, with each month lasting 30 or 31 days. The Romans
had a number of calendars, and the most notable one was the Julian calendar.
The Julian calendar was introduced in 45 BC by Julius Caesar.
Although it had 12 months, many of its months were shorter than the
months in the modern calendar. As such, one Julian year only
consisted of 355 days. Before Julius Caesar's reforms, the year
began on the 31st of March. A leap month with 23 or 24 days was also
created to keep the calendar properly aligned with the cycle of seasons.
In the year 1582, Pope Gregory XIII decreed that there should be a
change in the Julian calendar. The Gregorian calendar was a
theoretical calendar, and it was created from very precise
calculations of vernal equinoxes
I'd like to see the year go from Summer Solstice to Summer Solicitous.
Anyway, Best wishes for you and yours.
