Calendar and Eclipse Interrelationships - Chapter II - June 1967

Kenneth C Herrmann

A markedly different system has remained practically unknown even among the educated elite of today. A few slighting comments refer to a "very complex... calendar (that) evolved through the ages for religious purposes" and "a grouping of days into weeks of seven days (that) has no single historical origin." A belittling description of this type disposes of this "other" system. Why? Why is the 7-day week termed "a time measurement problem that has plagued the world"?
