It makes an even better job than the Gregorian calendar when it comes to approximating the calendar to the solar year.

    The Torah is still in the west dog. You think the whole world is Europe and the Middle East? China divided them into weeks of ten.

        I was responding to you saying humans seem to always divide by 7. It’s an interesting point you make that it’s been done for a long time but we are saying two things.

        You actually made me think of something I’m gonna go ask the Hebrew specialist, did 7 days in the Hebrew Bible mean 7. I know 7 is their number for a lot just like 10,000 in Chinese. :)

          My lemmy client only shows the comment without context, so unless I have a good memory, etc.
