>The statement about months is kinda wrong.
No it isn't.
>Moon months exist, and there are 13 of them
I said the months are defined by the moon. You said it was wrong, then agreed with me. Note that I never said there are 12 months. I said:
>Months exist, defined by the orbit of the moon.
>1: 11th month by name, but some Pope's birthdays reforms happened until we ended up with February at 28 days and no spring's start is the new year, etc.
This refers to calendars, which are an inventions by man.
>2: Even if that was Christmas before the popes changed it and/or Christians like to feast when heathens brethren/converts did, simultaneously. And historically more plausible for a time of travel to do a census.
This is more calendar stuff. I'm not talking about calendars, but periods defined in nature by things that exist independent of mankind. The ones I listed are all very clearly defined by mostly celestial events. Weeks are an arbitrary invention and so are calendars.
