- Have you ever wondered how exactly we got our current calendar? Was it always 12 months? How did they end up with 365 as the number of days? And why on earth do we have leap days, much less leap seconds? Writer and producer Daniel Seehausen is here to answer all of these questions and more in the podcast that answers the questions you never thought to ask.

I like how you simplified and put an end to the argument of who's using the right calendar. Time and space just simply won't let us accurately measure and keep track o the days no matter how hard we try.
Not every calendar is right. They are all unique. You can even make your own, heck, even make some for well known fictional worlds, just be Younique.
I'm obsessed with calendars and have written software to emulate the Roman Calendar and to show the correct days and calendars in the ancient era. So imagine my delight when this video about my obsession says at 6:46 "It doesn't tell you today is May 3rd." May 3rd is my birthday!
Lunar/ solar is the ancient Israelite calendar scriptures Nex The Most High told them to use the lights in the sky to clock the days, years and seasons. The new moon is definitely the natural beginning of the month as the word month itself is the proto Germanic word meaning moon.
Yes Enoch talks about this.
Also the photos used as Egyptians is actually hyksos who were invaders of Egypt who were expelled out of Egypt by the New Kingdom. But you have the best video that explains about the calendar history
Love the video and probably the best I've seen about time and calendars but it still leaves me wondering, how do we know if the dates mentioned on historical texts are equivalent to dates and years we measure today... If u have an answer i would love to hear or watch!
it's not! nobody knows Jesus Christ's birth date because of this (he's probably not 2021 years). Also Newton's birth date varies from December the 25th and January 4th depending on which calendar you're using (Julian or gregorian)
I advice you to visit ethiopian calendar don't know why he didn't mention it
Having 13 months of 28 days with one extra day makes the most sense.
Like on Dishonored video games series.
Great video and archive. Strange u don't have more a subscribers. Keep up!
Ironically 11 minutes shouldn't seem a wild digression since most waste far more time than that in a number of activities throughout their days. Fascinating bit of history with the Cleopatra tale as man seems more intent on pleasing the dictates of 21 year old princess ousted from her seat of power than caring about what day it truly was.
Very informative video. I've watched 3 of them. This was the best.
Thanks! I think my art got substantially better with the later episodes, but I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I really enjoyed researching it.
Thanks for great info
Amazing information 👌🏼 thanks a bunch
Well informative 💯✊🏿 thank you
Great and very interesting video. Keep going
Thanks this answered a lot of things for me
Intelligent video. Thanks.
Great work!💪
lol at the earth saying 'you hear something?', shows how insignificant we are really, we could make the most accurate clock but the earth and sun could determine otherwise.
Awesome work.

Thank you for the video!
Your picture of England is actually England and Wales.
Yeah I know haha, can't fix it now
Thank you for the information sir thank you.
You're welcome! I have plenty of other videos on my channel, and another one should done in just a another week or so if all goes well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The best "calendar" is probably just to measure which direction the shadows point when the sun sets, in ancient times they would do this with little towers of rocks, this method is convenient and precise and very accurate. The second best is a lunar phase calendar, which is precise and very convenient but can be inaccurate; the third best is a solar calendar, which is precise and very accurate but can be inconvenient; and the fourth best is a lunar cycle calendar, which is convenient and accurate but can be very imprecise. Although this all varies depending on the specific method used.
But exactly HOW was it made??? I mean if I had to start from scratch on a new planet, how would I make a calendar and how would I figure out how many hours are in a day???
I never knew how lengthy the history of the calendar was.
+Bigcal1292 Haha, hope it wasn't too boring. This was actually the first episode I finished producing, but I decided to release it third because I wanted to make a video for the Olympics before the popularity of the Rio games completely evaporated. Hope it doesn't show too much in the quality. I developed my style for the show a lot over these first few episodes and I am sure it will continue developing. Thanks for watching as always!

How did civilizations designate the years prior to the new system of bc and ad?
there are cultures existing right now which do not use BC and AD
Hmmm...
*30 Days × 12 Months = 360 Days*
There are four seasons in a year which would mean we intercalate 1 Day af the end of each season...
*360 Days + 4 Days = 364 Days*
*364 Days ÷ 7 Days = 52 Weeks*
Why is this so difficult?
@@waterducklover6588*Your calculations* are that of the moon and not of the sun. We cannot rely on the moon to keep the year as it falls behind the sun and stars by ten days each year.
@@waterducklover6588 I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make here....your calculations don't stop the moon from falling behind the sun and stars ten days each year. You simply divided up the day...which doesn't change the number of days in a year...
u didnt count the second , minutes, season, and together with the moon, earth rotation lol
@@LegionZGaming earth rotation?
Good call Jeremy!
..nice, a lot of information shared in those 10 minutes.
Even the current calendar ( Gregorian) that is followed today is obsolete as it doesn't serve the actual purpose that a calendar should do , which is timekeeping and being in sync with earth moon and planetary motions /seasons etc .
I would recommend u make a video on the Indian calendar ( Panchang) which has been in use from much before the Roman calendar

I think I may have corrected 1 of the 2 leap year corrections but needing opinions feel free to roast away
what about the lunisolar??????
The Father of Lights gave the sun, moon, and stars to keep time...I don't know why they chose only 1 or 2 of the 3 when all 3 are needed
Thank you.
THe Hebrew calendar goes back 5781 years to even the birth of Adam, so Egypt is a very long way behind, moths were numbered 1 to 12 as twelve lunations of the moon is 11 days short of 1 solar year., this is the world's oldest calendar and dates for the Great Flood of Noah are given in it. It is also the most accurate calendar there is.
Jesus is Christ. He is the Messiah the Jews has waited for thousands of years.
Exactly 💯💯💯. Gregorian calendar is not the accurate one but the Hebrew's.
The Jews admit to hiding about 250 years. We are closer to 6000 most likely 6022 if you ask a Mason.
Wow just realized this channel doesn't even have 1k subs. Yet people like morgz have millions. Smh
Thank you, my question is: Have the Roman weekly days been shuffled out of sequence from Creation week?
1:30 "A very confusing Roman calendar". One of the most confusing aspects is the bottom line which gives the number of days in each month, but runs them all together so you can't figure out which number is which. It looks like:
XXIXXXIIXXXXIXXIXXXXIXXIXXXXIXXIXXXIXXXXIXXIXXXIXXXVII
This is actually
Jan XXIX 29
Feb XXIIX 28 (different from how we would write it XXVIII)
Mar XXXI 31
Apr XXIX 29
Mai XXXI 31
Jun XXIX 29
Qui XXXI 31
Sex XXIX 29
Sep XXIX 29
Oct XXXI 31
Nov XXIX 29
Dec XXIX 29
Inter XXVII 27 (in operation these extra days were inserted into February)
It's time to use a decimal time system. France started with decimal time, C10 system improved it, UDAT system improved it even more. In UDAT system, date and time is an one string. PM me if you want to know more
Did not mention Sumerians and Babylonians also having 12 month lunarsolar years before Egyptians? Why?
I like the Egyptian calendar and just celebrate the 5 extra days
thanks mehn🦾🦾
That's suppose to be Cleopatra?
but didn't Ceaser change the Roman calendar, which was Lunar, to a Solar one? Why is the Orthodox church using a Lunar Calendar?
Is there a calendar based on the 4.54 billion year estimated age of the planet? Or one based on the estimated two-hundred-thousand years of humans existing?
Thats why our seasons don’t exist anymore.
@@CharlesLucas21 I'm not making a statement with these questions, I'm legitimately asking.
@@binaryglitch64 (brief moment of silence for the real one, RIP)
The CZcams channel Kurzgesagt is trying to promote the adoption of a new "Human Era" calendar which begins with the year 1 HE in 10,000 BC. Instead of having BC years which count downwards, all human historical events would get a positive year number, and all the AD years stay the same except getting a 1 in front, so that this year is 12022. The first Olympics wouldn't be 776 BC, they'd be in 9225 HE; the Battle of Thermopylae would be in 9521 HE instead of 480 BC and Julius Caesar would have lived from 9901-9957.
nice
Check out the antikythera mechanism perfect example of our NON ROTATING FLAT EARTH 🙏
Also the Astrolabe.
It starts with the Vedic God Kala Bhairava.
Why was the calendar divided into 12? Why not 10 for example? I know we need 30 days and 24/7 hours for our society to function but back then when everything was kinda a free-play, so how could they know they needed that amount of time in a month and year?
Most likely: the cycle of the moon combined with the cycle of the seasons.
Also, Base 12 is very common for systems of measurement. There are lots of theories about this but one of my favorite theories is the joints of your knuckles on your four fingers total 12
The true inventor of the Gregorian calendar was Nikephorus Gregoras a Byzantine Greek in 1324. The Byzantine emperor didn’t want to create confusion and disagreements within his empire so he dismissed it. People don’t understand that the Renaissance in science and art actually started in the Byzantine empire but unfortunately after the ottoman conquest the brightest minds of the Greek world fled to the west so the Renaissance was continued in Italy because no civilization could flourish under the ottomans
That comment is so chauvinistic.
@@NawwafKnowledgeSharing no it’s just the truth
@@Leoforos13 Well, even a larger number of Greeks fled to Russia and yet Russia had no Renaissance. So what is your explanation for that?
@@gabriellima7900 The question itself is wrong. I am not saying that western countries like Italy cannot say that the were centers of the Renaissance, that would absurd . For this particular video I am commenting how the work of certain man (Nikephoros Gregoras) is not mentioned. The Eastern Roman Empire is seen in the west as backwards. In reality It was a beacon of medieval civilization where the foundations of the renaissance were laid. The artistic, technological and scientific progress of Byzantium is ignored in the west which makes sense since the Greeks were under Ottoman rule and could not promote their culture or make any cultural advancements and since historiography was in the hands of the westerners all the medieval Greek (Byzantine) figures of art and science don’t get the attention they deserve while their work is now claimed by others
@@gabriellima7900 So YES. It should be mentioned that all this progress of the renaissance in the west had already started in Byzantium. And it is not a matter of nationalism (Greek) or chauvinism. Yes the eastern Roman Empire especially in its final centuries was more ethnically homogenous (Greek) but you could also find Slavs, Armenians, Jews or even Turks. Anyone who was an orthodox Christian, identified as Roman and spoke Greek could ascend in the church, the army and the educational sector (or even become emperor)

Sand watchs... clock's, time measurements.. 🌞 and 🌕philosophical conversation.. interesting
the real source of the calendar, number of days in a year, length of days vs. nights in months were in the book of Enoch which was stolen and hidden from all by a thief so that they will be know to be the knowledgeable the powerful scoundrels? etc. But in truth if you read the ancient text of Enoch everything was thought by an angel... just based on my own research only.. check if you're interested.
'Jewish fables' we were warned about.
Scripture gives us the true calendar in the signs of the positions and movements of the luminaries.
Please what was the year 40 BC before Jesus came ,because BC means before Christ so what was the years before christ came, like what did they call 40BC before christ even came??
The days were skipped in September. Not october. Great video though thank you
Ah, must have had a bad source somewhere
@@Answerarchive happens lol wonderful video though well put together and very informative. Nice work
No the original skip in 1582 was indeed from October 4 to October 15
As said in the video though not every county applied the new calendar at the same time, and Great Britain for example did so in 1752 (170 years later), going from September 2 to September 14, so that's maybe where you got confused
God's calendar is 360 days 12 months of 30 days and runs in a 7 year cycle. 7 times 7 years = 49 years and the 50th year the Jubilee is also ( year one of the next 49 year cycle). The full moon (the one that rises as the sun sets and clear enough for everyone to see) marks the first day of each month. The lion constellation leads out the year and the other eleven follow! This calendar does not requre adjustments.
Agreed.
Virgo (Virgin birth) begins the year and ends with either the Lion (of Judah/Leo) or the Serpent (Ophiuchus).
All to take the "13th." member it takes to make a council out of the picture so you won't learn how to control your government or corporations.
We have to accept that calendars are man-made, but all phenomenon is impermanent or subject to change. Therefore, all calendars are relative and subject to change.
3:30 but Netflix said Cleopatra was black 😀
I made the calendar
You said the Pope's bday changed from 1-01 to 1-11. I thought his bday was 1-07, assuming you mean Pope Gregory XIII.
May have made a mistake. I'll see if I can double check and put a correction in the description if so

😅😅😅Another mythical issue to discuss
@@onyediidike560 wake up! A spinning, orbiting ball of water is the myth. It cannot be scientifically proven, thus it has merely been a 'theory' we've been indoctrinated to believe in blind faith.
Scientism is a false religion.
So they didn't actually change the days of the week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc was still the same? I'm trying to determine what the true Sabbath day is. I know it isn't Sunday, and have felt it to be Saturday, but I'm not sure how it has been manipulated over the history. Seems like they just skipped ahead 10 days but didn't change the actual weekly cycle.
How is your journey coming along? Sunday is certainly the "1st Day" of the week. YaHUaH only named one day. Sabbath day, being the seventh and most important.
The weekly cycle wasn't changed despite all the confusion taking place with the calenders.
The year 1752 had 11 days removed from the calendar and this is the sequence of the weekly cycle, with the new numbers of the day:
Wednesday, September 02, 1752 and the following day was Thursday, September 14, 1752.
The Sabbath is still the same day and the Jews also keep it on the same day, even today.
Sabbath is Saturday, while Sunday is the first day of the week.
Since Christ died a Sunday the Christians made it the new Sabbath to celebrate Mass, and renamed it "Dominicus" in the Latin speaking world, which means "Day of the Lord".
To make matters funnier, the Latin speaking Christians renamed Saturday to Sabbath, so now in languages like Spanish you have Sábado (Sabbath) followed by Domingo (Dominicus).
@@adrian7856 they falsely believe He resurrected on a Sunday.
You can find many videos that show how animals keep the Sabbath ('Saturday'). I have a playlist on my channel.
Only HE knows the time and date

What if humans are someone's clock.
364 days a year every month has 30 days and every 3rd month has an extra day to bring in the season. no leap years and an extra day for what. 364 days read enoch.
Genesis 1 says we are given the signs in the sun moon and stars to mark time, this alone debunks the 'Book of Enoch'.
Sun circuit is observed to be 365.25, lunar cycle is 29.5 days full moon to full moon. A 13th month is required (by observation of the luminaries) every 2-3 years.
Looking for Easter is obfuscation from keeping Passover as all of the Roman/pagan feasts keep us from finding the true Scriptural feast days of YHUH.
@renataimmanuel500 what's funny? Refer to the original language.
The Egyptians got and veered off the knowledge they are so acclaimed for from Abraham.
Abraham would have taught them the true way to mark time by the observation of the sun moon and stars, the 3 'hands' of the sky clock of YHUH.
Jews use the lunar calendar as well! Not sure how this fact is missed.
The real calendar is found the the book of Enoch and Jubilee's and the Dead sea scrolls.
Greetings In Yahoshua/Jesus
Correction. Cleopatra, wasn't European. So, one error, Just as Egyptians, are not White
The Persians have a different calendar with it’s first day being the start of spring (the spring equinox) and it’s last date being the last day of winter. To me it has never made logical or scientific sense as to why the year starts on January 1st for the western world. I know it’s based on Philosophy and illusionary Roman God Janus and has nothing to do with science which is why it seems ignorant and blind to be following archaic myths.
Yeah, I have my disagreements with the Gregorian Calendar too, but my goal in this video was to tell the story of the Calendar that most people are familiar with and use. I think there a lot of better systems.
Agreed
@@Answerarchive and we thank you! Great job.
Maybe it's based on the winter solstice.
Everything Rome (and 'the world') does is to hide the One True Elohim ('GOD').
I thought Mayans invented it first?
May I ask, why don't you think the keeping of time, started with Jubilee? You act like time keeping is natural, I would argue that obsessing over time, is not a natural concept. To act like it's natural, is dismissive. Only Jewish history gets to the root of the cause. Then God was born into the world and time wrapped around him, bc He is the alpha and Omega, beginning and the End. After this life, time will run on a different scale, called eternity. God will forever see you as perfect, or a sinner, for all eternity. Only way to be seen as perfect, before God, is to accept God's perfect sacrifice, His only begotten Son.
But good video!

Time keeping is to stay correct in the Harvest cycle and to keep His Feast days and Sabbaths.

@@Answerarchive the vote was to keep it perpetually, thus not going back but staying in the 'wrong time'.

Just make a base 10 calendar. It will make sense when we colonize Mars.
Haha, I suppose. I believe base twelve was common because of the finger bones in our hands being used for counting. Don't quote me on that though.
Twelve is because of the 12 constellations that the sun and moon move through each cycle of the sun.

I really don’t care. It does not put one dime or nickel in my pocket. Sunday is still Sunday and YHWH says to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy and that’s all I care about. That day is The seventh Day which is Saturday. Amen
