The World of Non-Gregorian Calendars: What Day Is It, Really?

from Ridiculous History · host iHeartPodcasts

In today's follow-up to an earlier exploration of the Gregorian calendar, Ben, Noel and Max admire the many alternative, non-Gregorian calendars with their own ancient provenance, all of which exist in the modern day. Or modern night? Spoiler, a ton of these are based on the passage of the moon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
