Do you know the History of the Days of the Week?

- Ever wondered about where the names of the days of the week come from? You might have heard that the English days of the week are named after Norse Gods, which is mostly true; but do you know why? This video traces the history of the days of the week back to Ancient Babylon where the days of the week were named after Babylonian Gods who shared their names with various planets. This is why many Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian) have words in the days of the week that resemble many of the planets, namely Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus, the Moon, and the Sun.

How do you say the days of the week in the languages you speak? Any resemblance to the planets/Babylonian gods in the video? đ
In Hindi đźđł and other Indian Languages. The days sound very different but have the same meaning as latin languages...
Somvar - Monday - Moon
Mangalvar - Tuesday - Mars
Budhvar - Wednesday - Mercury
Guruvar - Thursday - Jupiter
Shukrvar - Friday - Venus
Sanivar - Saturday - Saturn
Sunday - Ravivar/Suryvar - Sun
Also, i believe this system originated in India and moved westwards by the Indo Europeans
In Filipino, we call the days of the week as
Lunes - Monday
Martes - Tuesday
Miyerkules - Wednesday
Huwebes - Thursday
Biyernes - Friday
Sabado - Saturday
Linggo - Sunday
In Danish we say
Mandag (Monday)
Tirsdag (Tuesday)
Onsdag (Wednesday)
Torsdag (Thursday)
Fredag (Friday)
LĂžrdag* (Saturday)
SĂžndag (Sunday)
*LĂžrdag comes from the old Norse word Laugrdag which means 'Washing day'
To go even further, when Eastern Asia adopted the seven day cycle, Japan and Korea specifically based there's on the old Chinese way of naming the days based on the Five Elements. Modern China instead uses a number system.
They still use the planetary bodies, but associate each of them, aside from the Sun and Moon with an element (Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood).
Take fire for example. Mars is known as Kasei (Fire Star) in Japanese, so you get Kayobi for Tuesday. In Korean, its Hwaseong for Mars and has the same meaning, so Hwayoil for Tuesday. The same is true for every other day.
This was fascinating. I knew the days of the week were named after the planets, but it was very interesting to learn the history behind it. đ
Merci beaucoup ! TrĂšs intĂ©ressant đ
Ahh. I thought you would forget Portuguese. Thanks again for your very interesting and informative article. Greetings from Portugal. Um abraço e bem haja mano
Days of the week. This knowledge is a wonderful share. Truly to know the power of planets are such a discovery. Astrological terms we get this but in mythological terms not many do. This is a wonderful bridge of understanding. Amazing work kind one!đ
There is another interesting video I cam across.... gives logical reasoning as to why the 1st day of the week is a Sunday, followed by Monday, Tues & so on.... check it out.... czcams.com/video/9nBvEPOL-aw/video.html
I am learning Icelandic. The days are: sunnudagur (day of the sun), mĂĄnudagur (day of the moon), ĂriĂ°judagur (third day), miĂ°vikudagur (midweek day), fimmtudagur (fifth day), föstudagur (fasting day) and laugardagur (washing day)!
The days of the week in Catalan, starting from Monday, are as follows: dilluns; dimarts; dimecres; dijous; divendres; dissabte; diumenge.
In Sardo: Lunis, Martis, Merculis, Jovia, Chenapura,Sapadu, Dominica
I have always preferred Viernes and Domingo over Friday and Sunday.
If you arrange the planets in a circle in order of speed in the sky, you can draw a seven-pointed star between them and you will get the order of the days of the week as well. No need for calculating planetary hours đ
Logic of Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday?
This concept originated in vedic india
Italian and Spanish use Lordsday for Sunday
I thought Thursday is like Thorâs-day?
Wow ancient Indian scriptures shows the same logic for our weekdays

there is no proff that it originated in babylonians they came into existance long after this was discovered
Latin names for the days of the week are quite like Sanskrit names. Starting with Sunday they are named after the Sun (Ravi or Äditya à€°à€”à€ż or à€à€Šà€żà€€à„à€Ż), the Moon (Soma or Candra, à€žà„à€ź or à€à€šà„à€Šà„à€°), Mars (Mangala or Bhauma or Kuja, à€źà€à„à€à€Č or à€à„à€ź or à€à„à€), Mercury (Budha à€Źà„à€§), Jupiter (Báčhaspati or Guru, à€Źà„à€čà€žà„à€Șà€€à€ż or à€à„à€°à„), Venus (Ćukra, à€¶à„à€à„à€°), and Saturn (Ćani, à€¶à€šà€ż).
You better check the surya Siddhant a before making false video

The seventh day cycle doesnât date back to the Babylonian empire. It simply comes from the beginning 7 days of creation.
OK. The Bible is 100% truth and was the word of God, not man.đ The months of the year don't even make sense. I bet most of ya'll think there's 12 months a year and was given by God right?đ I'd say 10, and the beginning of the year is March. Bet? Count from September to December in Latin or Italian. Let me help you out. September is the 9th month, right? Wrong it's the 7th month. In spanish 7 is siete and in Italian sette is 7. Ok. October is the 10th month, right? Wrong. Ocho is 8 in spanish, and Otto is the same in Italian.??? What does November mean? You'll understand if you follow the patterns.đź
If India created the 7 day week then where does god fit into this ,I thought he was supposed to of created the world?.

You are boxing shadows buddy
U said everything but didn't mentioned the history of days and week from where it's originated and discovered .It like ur knowledge was focused to European centric
So if they applied there own God's to the process of creating the days of the week. Then since there's only one God which is the father of Jesus Christ as well as us then they as well as there process of creating the days of the week are wrong
God created the days of the week, humans just named them.
The logic is correct but history is entirely misleading because it originated in India and moved westwards, and It is precisely explained in Surya Siddhanta which is a way older than many others, and it is now only for hours and days, the same continues for weeks, moths, years and eclipses, full moons too
Any Indian would recall
why there are amavas (No moon), purnima (Full moon), months names on god names too
and this is due to
In India when parents teach us some things they also don't remember the logic of things and thus younger generation including me,
completely rejects Indian knowledge as we say I am not going to believe in anything without logic without even trying to put the slightest effort to verify or think if it makes sense
From middle east not india đ

I thought sabbath is lord day according to the Jewish religion
WRONG INFO BRO ITS INDIA THATS BHARATH WHERE IT ORIGINATED . CORRECT YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
All were Inspired from India.. Go research it deeper.

Where's the proof ?
Indo-European culture is at the root of everything.
niether babylonians nor greece gave the time calculation and calculations of days it was Indians Hindus who did this calculation and taught to west people and like always they took the credit
False video đ... You should check
"Surya Siddhanta" before making this false videos đ
God created the seven days of the week, humans just named them.
