It’s about money and control, as ever
A fascinating bit of largely unknown history
Our modern Gregorian calendar isn’t rational for humans
It’s why we need a nursery rhyme to remember our own calendar
“30 days in April, June and September, all the rest….”
The human calendar has 13 months of 28 days, plus one floating free day, it’s lunar not solar
Ancient free born humans used the human calendar
Which gave fixed days of the month repeating every year
Each date always falling on the same day of the week
Much easier to remember
And better for sewing seeds, crop management and harvesting and more too
The Ethiopians know better, and always have, they refused to have 12 months, and still do
