Well, it’s incorrect when it comes to the solar year but is correct when it comes to the lunar cycles. So I guess they didn’t track time by the solar year then. It’s just a matter of cultural perspective. Tracking the seasons and the lunar cycles were probably more important to Indigenous Americans because of needing to know when to seed, harvest, and hunt as opposed to knowing the exact time it takes for the earth to loop around the sun.
you’re the one badly misunderstanding the how the solar cycle works, how the lunar cycle works (it’s not exactly 28 days, the turtle shell method wouldn’t work here either), how seasons work, mythologizing “Indigenous Americans” as though they’re a monolith and pretending they’re too stupid to realize that the flower moon of this year is a lot warmer than the flower moon of the year they were born. you’ve substituted pop mythology for actually thinking about a problem, then got defensive, insulting and shitty when someone pointed out that your basic assumptions are deeply, provably flawed. if you’re gonna be a dick, at least be smart.
What’s your problem? Why am I your target? Please explain.
All I did was point out that the concept of the 13 month calendar is really old. Then I said it’s accurate if you aren’t worried about a full sun cycle. Of course it’s not as accurate as the gregorian calendar. Why are you fucking blaming that all on me? What the fuck did I do to you to deserve this shit? And yeah, I know you’re a redditor because all you redditors tend to like to start arguments where there are none, just to make yourself feel important. Please take your calendar arguments to the Indigenous Americans who created it and explain to them why their “basic assumptions are probably flawed.”
How bouts you shut the fuck up and quit your childish fucking arguing. I’m sooo sorry that I ruined your fucking day so bad for mentioning a method of keeping track of time that differs from your understanding of the world. You do realize I didn’t create the concept, right? Just keep focusing your anger on me since it’s obviously my fault. Fucking drama queen Redditor piece of shit.

the seasons are a function of the earth’s position in its orbit around the sun, not the number of moon cycles that have taken place
OK. Whatever you say. I guess the turtle shell is all bullshit.
You must’ve come from reddit.
