> My proposal would be to start Actually that idea is much older than you might think, see Egyptian calendar With the difference that the "week" in Egypt had 10 days. The desire for a 7 day week stems IIRC from Babylon in order to split the moon cycle in four parts (well almost) and was adopted and spread by the monotheistic book religions. Getting 3 unrelated astronomical rotation cycles (earth day, lunar month, solar year) in sync with a table can't be easy. :)
