To my knowlede -
Which is limited as this medium...
Time was first recorded by women...
Yes Women were the first recorded Mathmaticians...!
Bones were found near the bodies and homes of the ancient dead with hatch marks on them correlating to two things...
The lunar cycle
The Menstral cycle.
Which both correlate in approximately 28 days...
Which the amount of time the moon takes to travel its course around the Earth...
To control population in a terribly dangerous time of Hunting and Gathering, women began to make sure they kept their respective families, of a number that was sustainable by their chosen mates...
Sustainability seems a Female concept... which makes a lot of commonly ascribed to sense.
A Week is 7 days... a month is 4 weeks, a month should be 28 days....!
The male dominated society that developed based the calendar on the Sun... a male archetype in the minds of the Gregorians... (we still use a Gregorian calander)
Many societies use a combination of Solar and Lunar calanders...
Jewish ones like my Grandfathers' still do.
If we maitained a calander today of 28 days... we would have to leave a day off every four years instead of adding one ...
One by product of this would be that if you were born on a tuesday, your birthday celebration would always fall on a tuesday...
But male dominated societies are flawed in so many ways that this is acceptable loss to those that know and understand it.
If we suggested the change of the calendar, you would probally hear a huge out-cry of BLASPHEMEY !!! BLASPHEMEY !!!
So, does that mean that Man thinks he should be God?
Or that Man thinks that Woman should not be?
Or that if neither be God? At least let's , (by any means necessary ) NOT FOCUS ON WOMEN ----EVER!----
The real question is "What is the fallout of all this ignoring of over half the population of the Earth?
Besides that "explanation" -
The first mechanized clocks with intervals of 60 seconds and minutes were actually given to Western Civilization by Middle Eastern and Far Eastern Society... like algebra and the schools that Newton studied at were given by the Moors and the Turks..
The "timepieces" were literally childrens' toys!!!
Yes they were.
Find it in your travels through study, I did.
Those that passed it on to Western Explorers were actually surprised at their great interest in the devices, as they saw it a Ludicrous that one would attempt to "...CLOCK THE HEAVENS."
