Thanks for the video. Also, there are 13 Houses in the full Zodiac including Ophiuchus The Serpent Bearer. There are 13 X 2,000 Year Ages in the Platonic Great Year Cycle of 26,000 Years. Just as there are 13 Moon Cycles (Full to New to Full) of 28 Days or 4 Weeks in a Solar Year. 28 X 13 = 364 days + 1.25 days = A Year And A Day (+ leap years). Each Week Day (a turning) is dedicated to an allegorical sky god. Sun-day, Moon-day, Mars of Mardi (Twi of Tuesday), Mercury of Mercredi (Woden of Wednesday), Jupiter of Jeudi (Thor of Thursday), Venus of Vendredi (Freya of Friday), Saturn of Saturday. Venus-Lucifera, The Morning Star, The Bearer of Light, The Divine Mother, The Holy Ghost, The Statue of Liberty, The Torch Bearing Bearer of Light visual pun, Columbia Goddess. She who bore and gave birth to the sun god (Horus, Ra, Apollo, Jesus, etc.). Do you know the fable of Osiris (Moon) being cut up over 14 nights (Full to New) by Set (of the Night) and then Isis (Venus, Mother of Horus, the Sun/Son) reassembling him over 14 nights (New to Full) but that his giggle tackle fell into the River Nile and was eaten by fish, so lost? Moon God = Jehovah, Baal, Osiris, Yahweh, El or Allah. Obelisk, O-Baal-isk. Shaft of Baal. The missing giggle tackle. The tallest one is in DC at 555.5 feet tall, 6666 inches. 6666 is divisible by 3 for the 3, 4, 5 sacred triangle symbolism. Located on God's Longitude 77° West of London Greenwich Zero Longitude. United Grand Lodge England (UGLE) is in London. DC is 38.5 ° Latitude North of the Equator, 77/2=38.5. The Holy Trinity family with the Holy Ghost Mother. Venus, Isis, Minerva, Aphrodite, Freya, Athena, Astarte, etc. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, Amen (Amon-Ra) Moon Father + Venus Mother Begat The Sun/Son. Allegorical Symbolism: Sacred 3, 4, 5 right angle triangle. Vertical 3 = Father, Horizontal 4 = Mother, Hypotenuse = Son Square 3X3=9, Square 4X4 = 16, Square 5X5 = 25. 9+16 = 25. Father + Mother = Son. ☪= 🌞 The square of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two adjacent sides. These sky gods were visible with the naked eye before telescopes. Allegorically, the Sinister Left Path Dark Path Craft of Satanism is not the same as the Right Path, White Path Craft of Luciferianism. See Black/White Masonic Chessboard and Yin/Yang symbolism. Allegorically, the Snake (Serpent) Enlightened "humanity" to the Knowledge (English), Gnosis (Greek) or Science (Latin) of the difference between Good versus Evil in the well-known "Garden of Eden" fable. It is the moral and ethical struggle that each Enlightened sentient mind/body organism has to struggle with internally, every day, during their incarnated existence. ~~~~~~~~~ IX XI (09/11) mm/dd or XI IX (11/09) was New Year Day, Enkutatash, because it marked the heliacal rising of Sirius (Dog-God) Canis-Major, the Star of Bethlehem and the annual flooding of the River Nile period. K is letter 11 so K9 is a pun for Canine (Sirius) and for 11th September. There was no year zero, which is a more modern maths concept. Anno Lucis = The Year of Light. Anno Domini = The Year of our Lord. Age of Taurus IX XI Anno Lucis Year I to MMI Age of Aries IX XI Anno Lucis Year MMI to MMMMI Age of Pisces IX XI Anno Lucis Year MMMMI to MMMMMMI Age of Aquarius IX XI Anno Lucis Year MMMMMMI to MMMMMMMMI ~~~~~~~~~ Age of Taurus Enkutatash Year 4001 BC (Age of Pisces Year 1) ~ 2001 BC. Age of Aries Enkutatash Year 2001 BC ~ Anno Domini Year 1 (Jesus-Fish). Age of Pisces Enkutatash Anno Domini 1 ~ AD 2001 (Jesus-Fish Era). Age of Aquarius Enkutatash (11th September) Anno Domini 2001 ~ 4001. ~~~~~~~~~ *13 HOUSE ZODIAC INCLUDING OPHIUCHUS linked to Moon (Moonth) cycles.* Rather like the Easter (Eostre) Moon linked fertility festival drifts around in "Spring" (in the Northern Hemisphere) the 28 day X 13 month Moon cycles drift around the Christian Era 12 month Solar Year a little. There was a bit of a Satanic sacrificial "ritual" going on in the US on the first day of this New Age of Aquarius. A K9 Bomb Sniffing Yellow Labrador Dog called SIRIUS (no kidding) allegedly died in the illegal demolition of the North Tower. ~~~~~~~~~ So Approximately: VIRGO = SEPTEMBER ~ OCTOBER LIBRA = OCTOBER ~ NOVEMBER SCORPIO = NOVEMBER ~ NOVEMBER OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER ~ DECEMBER SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER ~ JANUARY CAPRICORN = JANUARY ~ FEBRUARY AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY ~ MARCH PISCES = MARCH ~ APRIL ARIES = APRIL ~ MAY TAURUS = MAY ~ JUNE GEMINI = JUNE ~ JULY CANCER = JULY ~ AUGUST LEO = AUGUST ~ SEPTEMBER

As a math kid, my guess was always that 7 was special to the Babylonians because it was the smallest number that didn't fit nicely into their base-60 number system. It's the smallest prime that creates infinitely repeating decimals if you try to divide with it when you're using base-60.

For real, right? Babylon was founded around 2300 BC. For those like me they believe the Bible to be inspired by God and truth, it was literally at creation that God spoke a 7 day week into existence. This is a disappointing video to try and state with fact something otherwise.

And on this note, Babylon did not grow in importance for either trade or technology until around 800 BC, which is more than likely when this came into common use in the empire. Moses wrote Genesis at around 1600 BC, reflecting inspiration given to Him by God who invented the 7 day week. Better question for me - why 365.25 days per year?

In Japanese: Sunday = Nichiyobi (Nichi = Sun); Monday = Getsuyobi (Getsu = Moon); Tuesday + Kayobi (Ka = Fire, for Mars, the fiery planet, or Kasei); Wednesday = Suiyobi (Sui = Water, for Suisei, the watery planet Mercury); Thursday = Mokuyobi (Moku = Wood, for Jupiter as the Wood planet, because its lines and markings resemble wood grain); Friday = Kinyobi (Kin = Gold or Metal, with Venus being the golden hued planet); Saturday = Doyobi (Do = Earth, because Saturn is earth colored). In Japanese astrology, the Sun was called Taiyo, or the Great Yang, as it was the Great Yang luminary; the Moon was called Taiyin, or the Great Yin luminary. The other five of the seven classical planets were each associated with each of the Chinese Five Elements: Mars = Fire; Saturn = Earth; Venus = Gold / Metal; Mercury = Water; and Jupiter = Wood.

For me that knows lunar calendar and always go to work before sunrise, in many times I can see the phases of the moon and from there I can simply deduce roughly what day is it. So my thought for why a week is seven days is simply because its the easiest way to divide a moon in four. Namings of those days depends on cultures so its fine which name we use
@MrSanTang
@MrSanTang 6 ай бұрын
Exactly! No need to look any further than the moon. The moon is the easiest and most obvious celestial body to observe. It has been observed for many thousand years. Especially also because of its apparent relation to women menstrual cycles. The lunar phases were easily distinguished and were very early in human history associated with the passage of time. Of course the one day period was already known as constant. Observations confirmed that there are 28 days (counted with 28 rocks or twigs on the ground) between one full moon to another : that is a lunar month. Eventually, the moon phases were also observed as being constant. Full moon (1st row of rocks), Last quarter (2nd row), first quarter (3rd row) and new moon (4th row). Each are separated by seven days distributed on four rows of seven rocks. Voilà! This is how I imagine our prehistoric ancestors came up with this first 'magical' way of measuring time.

In Portuguese it's: Domingo - Sunday (from the Latin "dies Domini", or "day of the Lord") Segunda-feira - "second fair day Terça-feira - "third fair day" Quarta-feira - "fourth fair day" Quinta-feira - "fifth fair day" Sexta-feira - "sixth fair day" Sábado - Saturday (from the Biblical Sabbath) The "fair day" expression was equivalent to the modern English "business day". The medieval Portuguese did sometimes use the Spanish names (except for Sábado and Domingo) in their reckoning of the days of the week, but since that was a direct reference to pagan gods, the Church sought to stamp it out. That worked in Portugal, but much less so in Spain

In roman scripts (not really found in Bibble, but in some other historical source), Sabbath was mentioned as day when Jewish people gathered and rested, and they (romans) used it to raid them more efficiently.

Sabbath was deliberately translated to ...'the first day of the week'.... in the Bible, so to fit the changed day of worship by the pagan emperor Constantine when he created his fake hybrid pseudo-religion in the 4th century! You can check the oldest manuscripts on the matter! He deliberately divided the Church to conquer it, roman style, using 1/6 of the bishops who became apostates! In Bulgarian the days are like in Polish, but in Greek they differ! Ponedelnik/ponedelok is deutera which means second day of the week, and so on till you reach the 7th day called sabbato! And kiriaki/Sunday was called first day before the above mentioned fakery! And of course, the 7 day week comes from the Bible as it is a narrative of the Creation, Babylon was made centuries later! Every culture must have had some notion of the story as there are many stories of the Flood!

Wednesday is named after Wotan, also known as Odin. The link is the following: Mercury is two-faces (metaphorically), as he protects thieves and merchants, side with one group one day and with a different one another day. Hence a “mercurial” type of character. The same goes with Odin, whose allegiance was very fluctuating.

For September to be the 7th Month and December the 10th Month you would need New Year to be March 1st (Mars God of War). April is for the Goddess Aphrodite. May, the Greek goddess Maia. June sacred to Juno. July, Julius Cæsar, + Augustus Cæsar. January the month of Janus. February, the Roman festival of purification called Februa. But, if you see my long post in the top pinned thread, New Year Day could instead be 11th September, in a 13 Moonth Lunar Calendar, based on the 13 Houses of the Zodiac including Ophiuchus.

In Greek the days of the week are named after the ordinal names of the cardinal numbers (bar Friday, Saturday & Sunday): Monday: Δευτέρα /ðefˈteɾa/ = Second Tuesday: Τρίτη /ˈtriti/ = Third Wednesday: Τετάρτη /teˈtarti/ = Fourth Thursday: Πέμπτη /ˈpempti/ = Fifth The three days that stray away from the norm: Friday: Παρασκευή /paɾasceˈvi/ = Preparation (after the name given to the day in the Christian Gospel of Mark (15:42): "Καὶ ἤδη ὀψίας γενομένης, ἐπεὶ ἦν παρασκευή, ὅ ἐστι προσάββατον" - "And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath" (English King James Version) Saturday: Σάββατο /ˈsavato/ < Hebrew שַׁבָּת (shabát) Sunday: Κυριακή /ciɾʝaˈci/ = Lord's (day).

There are several other Greek references to the “day of preparation” being the day to prepare for the Sabbath - Friday. Alexander the great was very impressed with the Jewish Temple and brought many Jews in his army to Alexandria, Egypt. Their influence caused the Greeks to adopt the Jewish calendar. The Romans adopted the Greek calandar's style but filled it with pagan gods to mask the influence of the God of Israel.

One thing worth mentioning is the order of the days. Why do the days go in an order that seems unrelated to the order of the planets? Apparently it comes from a somewhat confusing convention. Astrologers divided the day into 24 hours and named each hour after a planet. The classical planets were thought to circle the Earth at different speeds and distances, and the ones that tended to move fastest across the sky were thought to be the closest. So the planets were ordered from most- to least-distant Saturn-Jupiter-Mars-Sun-Venus-Mercury-Moon, and hours were also given the same names in a cycle. This will repeat every 7 days, i.e. once a week, and each day of the week was named after the first hour of that day. So if a week starts on the Sun hour, then the first day is Sunday. The 8th hour of the day will be Sun again, as well as the 15th and 22nd. Then the 23rd hour will be Venus, and the 24th Mercury, making the first hour of the next day Moon. So the second day of the week was Moon day. Going like this gives the order Sun-Moon-Mars-Mercury-Jupiter-Venus-Saturn, which is still reflected in the names today.

In Malay, every name of 7 days originally came from their Arabic root. Monday=hari Isnin (means Day 2), Tuesday=hari Selasa (means Day 3), Wednesday=hari Rabu (means Day 4), Thursday=hari Khamis (means Day 5), Friday=hari Juma'at (means Day of Congegration), Saturday=hari Sabtu (means Day 7), Sunday=hari Ahad (means Day 1); also known as hari Minggu (means Day of Our Lord, originally came from Portuguese word Domingo)

In portuguese the names of the days are so simple. Sunday is considered the last day of the week, it's called "Domingo", coming from the Latin "dies Dominica" or "Day of the Lord", it was the first day of the fair. Them comes Monday, "Segunda-feira", the meaning is just the second day of the fair, but we never say "feira", we just say Segunda, that just means second. It's the same for all the other days, "Terça-feira" terça meaning third, "Quarta-feira" quarta meaning fourth, "Quinta-feira" quinta meaning fifth and "Sexta-feira" sexta meaning sixth. And there's Saturday, that we call "Sábado" which comes from hebrew shabbatt

The Babylon tower is mentioned in the book of Genesis of the Bible and was built by the decedents of Noah. So there's still very good reason to believe that the 7 day celebration came from the actual history being told in the Bible. And the same reason every 7th day is religiously significant to the Babylonians (as you mention in the video). It would be the day that God rested. We call it the Sabbath day.

Yes, but the question is how and WHY... "It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon)."..... -- If they were just going by observed phases they'd have ranged from 28 to 31 days so could have easily chosen 30 day cycle and 6*5 or 5*6 day weeks... 360/30 days = 12 months all the same length + 5 (and a bit) extra days in a year... 28*13 months = 364 days so only 1 day short... Yet the ancients used 12 zodiac, 12 month calendars from early times. for 12 month calendars 6*5 (or possibly 5*6 but 5 can't be divided by 2 for a half-moon) makes more sense, with 30 day months + 5 day holiday time.. -- It seems various systems have been shoe-horned together.. Perhaps some places had 13 month calendars and 28 day months so 7 day weeks became the norm, then the zodiac lot forced their 12 month system and had to make all the months different lengths to fit it into 365... 13 months in the year and 4x7 day weeks in a month makes more sense if you want to make all the months the same length, which also makes more sense.. -- The Ancients were somewhat confused!

And I would consider this to be proven in the way how Swedish "fredag" and Finnish "perjantai" are pronounced. And it is more suitable with Freyja than with Frigga. But the Frigga became a Swedish "flicka" (girl) and a Finnish "likka" (gal).

​@@bradhartliep879 The spelling in Swedish is Frida. That was my great grandmothers (1901-2002) name and is still common. The oldest recording of the name in Sweden is from 1388. Frida is pretty much the only spelling you'll find in Scandinavia. Frieda I'd say is more German than anything so you might have German ancestry as well. Stockholm specifically had quite a large German population if you go back some hundred years. After a little research other variants can apparently also be Freida, Freda and Frinta. In older Swedish/Norse the word "fridh" apparently meant the beloved or beautiful which the Swedish version of the name is based on. In modern Swedish the words "frid" means peace so it's the same as German "friede". So Frida and Frieda might have different meanings depending on what the German origin is.

An explanation I heard was that the Babylonians had six day weeks, six weeks in a month, and ten months in a year. An extra month was added to the beginning of every sixth year, and an extra week was added to the end of the tenth month every twenty-four years. According to the version I’m referring to, Romans originally had ten month years just like the Babylonian, and that Julius Caesar added “July” and Augustus Caesar added “August” named after themselves, taking days from February to make ‘their months’ 31-days long.

I think the base 12 counting system of Sumeria must have influenced Babylonia. They may have broken the year in 12 months knowing the moon was about 28 days so a month was known. That would mean one month 365 days/12 would be 30 days per month. Then those 30 days were probably be broken up into four groups of seven days for some reason. Maybe dividing a 30 day month by three or five giving a ten day or six day week meant that those didn't fit some ritual or people just didn't like those numbers.

. It is important to note here that Rig veda is dated nearly 3000 BCE by various scholars and historians but we Indians consider it to be tens of thousands if not hundred thousand year old. Although there also exists long list of other post Christ era texts like Aryabhatiyam by Aryabhata, Panchsidhhantika of Varahmihira , kalmadhava by Madhvacharya ,Siddhant shiromani by Bhaskarcharya to name a few. Theory and order Indian astronomers (siddhant jyotishi / khagol shastri) knew the Heliocentricity of the solar system before the Kepler’s Theory of Heliocentricity (1617-1621) which can be established by the facts mentioned in Aryabhatiyam (4th CE), Panchhsidhantikka(5-6TH CE ), Grahaganit (9TH CE ) .However while calculating the order of the day one needs to follow geocentric method .This is because we live on planet earth if we follow heliocentricity we will get Earth-Day instead of Sunday and Moon-day/Monday will get omitted altogether. To avoid this very error we follow geocentric model . One may get bewildered that as per vedic astrology we have 9 planets(pind) but we have 7 days ,the reason is Rahu and Ketu are considered to be lunar nodes not planets. To determine the order of weekdays one needs to know two things the first being speed of rotation of planets and the second being Hora (a Sanskrit word derived from another Sanskrit word Ahoratra meaning a complete Day ) . One ahoratra has 60 ghatis which is equal to 24 horas which corresponds to nearly 24 hours. To get the sequence of weekdays one must first arrange the planets from slowest to fastest (according to their speed of rotation). The order comes out to be Saturn(shani), jupiter (guru),mars(mangal) , Sun(ravi) , venus (shukr) , mercury(buddh ) and moon(som) .And afterwards he/she needs to make the list of hours from 1st to 24th in a row and then start assigning the each hour a graha/planet staring with Saturn ,followed by Jupiter, mars and so on as mentioned above in the order of their rotation velocity. When one reaches the bottom that is 24th hour one will get mars(mangal) as per order .Carry over to next row following this very sequence starting with 1st hour again upto 24th hour doing so upto seven times one will get 7 rows with 1st hour of each row represented by its dinpati .Therefore first row will have Saturn/shani in its 1st hour which is also its dinpati . In second row’s 1st hour one will have sun/ravi which is dinpati of 2nd row . In 3rd row’s first hour one will have moon/som which is also dinpati of 3rd row .In 4th row’s first hour person will get mars/mangal which is dinapti of the 4th . In 5th row’s first hour

On the basis of Occam’s razor, the most likely explanation was the cycle of the moon. This being the 28 day cycle between full moon and full moon. Secondly,it divided down to the four week, seven day period. Uniquely, it also corresponds to the fertility cycle of human females. The Hebrew year consisted of 13 months, most likely from the Babylonians also as a measure of the winter solstice. While these were not exact, as the Babylonians worked out mathematically and through observation, they like most humans were pragmatic and used the easiest method available.

The name Tuesday derives from the Old English Tiwesdæg and literally means "Tiw's Day". Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god *Tîwaz, or Týr in Old Norse. *Tîwaz derives from the Proto-Indo-European base *dei-, *deyā-, *dīdyā-, meaning 'to shine', whence comes also such words as "deity". The German Dienstag and Dutch dinsdag are derived from the Germanic custom of the thing, as Tiw / Týr also had a strong connection to the thing. The Latin name dies Martis ("day of Mars") is equivalent to the Greek ἡμέρα Ἄρεως (hēméra Áreōs, "day of Ares"). In most languages with Latin origins (Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan, Romanian, Galician, Sardinian, Corsican, but not Portuguese), the day is named after Mars, the Roman parallel of the Ancient Greek Ares (Ἄρης). In some Slavic languages the word Tuesday originated from Old Church Slavonic word въторъ meaning "the second". Bulgarian and Russian Вторник (Vtornik) (Serbian: уторак utorak) is derived from the Bulgarian and Russian adjective for 'second' - Втори (Vtori) or Второй (Vtoroi).

If I came up with a calendar system I think it might be ... 10 months (because we use the decimal system) consisting of alternating 36 and 37 days (365 days in total) and 9 day weeks (because 36 is evenly divisible by 9). Perhaps make one of the 4 weeks of a 37 day month contain 10 days, that way months always start on the same day.

You go from Latin to "Germanic" to Anglo-Saxon to English, but ignore German. In German, Wednesday is Mittwoch which simply means Midweek . Tuesday is Dienstag which seems to mean Service Day (cf "Ich dien"). I have heard it said that this day was devoted to working for the feudal lord instead of oneself (although if everyone did that on the same day, wouldn' t it have made his land overcrowded, and left unattended on all the other days ?). It has also been suggested that Dien refers to a sort of democratic assembly for freemen held on that day, the "ting" of "hustings". That seems the most likely.

Mittwoch is indeed the middle of the week, which however only works if Sunday (Sonntag) is considered the first day of the week. As a child, our calendar weeks started with Monday. First later i found out that Sunday was considered the beginning. I do find it more likely, that Dienstag does actually derive from the same roots as Tuesday - the good Tyr, which in old Germanic was called Teiwa (Tiwesdæg). And yes, Tyr was the protector of the Thing (pronounced Ting). The word “Ting” - meaning assembly of the people - is still in use in Nordic countries, as an example in Danish: folketing, tinglysning etc. Though as a German, before i moved to the Nordic countries and got familiar with all these words, I also considered the relation to “duty” “Dienst/dienen” as the origin. Just did not make any sense :)

@@AbWischBar Thank you so much ! That is very interesting. I never actually counted where the mathematical middle was, but assumed the Germans had got it right, being very technical. Of course, the Jews started all this, and God made "the light" on the first day, which must mean the sun on Sunday, mustn't it ? The TH in "thing" must have been pronounced differently at some stage, as it must have in Theresienbad and Thalkirchdorf, Thüringen and Thurmstein, usw. It's like RH in Rhein or Rhine (the English), or Rhöndorf, or Rhossili and Rhyl (both in Wales, like many others), or WH in white (not black). RH is a special kind of R in Welsh, and many Scottish people pronounce WH properly, but it is dying out in England (my mother did it), It sounds like "hwite", which I think is how it was spelt in Anglo-Saxon, but the two sounds are pronounced together (an aspirated English W --- don't even try this in Germany !). The Welsh people expect us to do LL more or less correctly, but RH is never mentioned. As for our English "husting" (or "hustings", which has become more common) the Concise Oxford Dictionary reveals that the "hus" is "house". Why didn't I think of that ? It comes from Old Norse, and means "House Assembly" (I suppose this would be the big house in the village, where everyone met in the Great Hall, rather like Westminster Hall the oldest part of the Houses of Parliament). Even in the 18th century (when we had democracy, sort of anyway ) I can imagine hustings being held in the big house where the candidate lived ! As I mentioned "ich dien" for the convenience of English people, you may not realise why. It is the motto of Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales (similar to Crown Prince, in effect), The Prince of Wales killed the King of Bohemia (König von Böhmen) and stole it from him, also his feathers. Mind you, this was in 1346. Those two words are also similar to "Your man" in Welsh, which is what the Prince of Wales says loyally to the Queen (or usually King). The modern Welsh is "Eich Ddyn" . Funny, that ! But on the tomb of the first prince of Wales to use the motto, it is shown as "Ich diene", and of course, altogether it does mean "I am your man; I serve you". It fits very well ! Perhaps Prince Edward said "Wow, that's just the thing for me !". This was at the Battle of Crécy. I don't know why he was there. Hustings is quite an unusual word now. It means Wahlveranstaltung. People have televisions these days instead.

The days of the week were named for the seven objects that people regularly saw moving in the sky. Sunday and Monday were named for the sun and the moon, respectively, and their names probably need no further explanation. The planets, having been named for major deities, lent their names to the remaining days. Tuesday derives is name from Tīwesdæg, meaning Tiu's Day. Tiu was the Germanic god of the sky and of war. In Norse, he was known as Tyr. The Roman equivalent is Mars. Wednesday comes from Wōdnesdæg, Woden's Day (or Odin's Day). Woden is mirrored by Mercury. Thursday originates from þunresdæg, named for Thor, god of thunder. The Romans called him Jove (Jupiter). Friday, originally Frigedæg, is named for Frigga, or Freya, whom the Romans called Venus, goddess of beauty. Saturday, however, is named for the Roman deity Saturn, father of the gods. This is because the Nordic/Germanic Njorð would have resulted in Njorðsdæg, or Nerdsday, and even all those centuries ago, people hated nerds.

This Babylonian system is somewhat similar to the indigenous/traditional lunisolar calendars followed in India as well, by the Hindus as well Buddhists and jains who modelled it on Old Hindu/Sanskrit calendar. In Sanskrit, the days of the week are also associated with a specific planet( Hindus worship the personification of that planet in form of a god, their positions are consulted for horoscopes), they are:- 1)Monday- Somavasarah- Moon aka Chandra( the white one responsible for the thoughts and relations). 2)Tuesday- Mangalavasarah- Mars aka Mangala( the reddish-brown one responsible for wars) 3) Wednesday- Budhavasarah- Mercury aka Budha( the greenish one responsible for mental clarity and intelligence) 4) Thursday- Guruvasarah- Jupiter aka Brhaspati( the whitish one for luck and prosperity) 5) Friday- Shukravasarah- Venus aka Shukracharya( the golden one for luxuries and comforts) 6) Saturday- Shanivasarah- Saturn aka Shani( the black one for justice and Karma) 7) Sunday- Ravivasarah- Sun aka Surya/Ravi( the bright one who controls all these planets). Yes we Hindus also consider Sun and moon as planets, but somehow, we also believe that all planets depend on the sun for their influences and support. Also, Rahu and Ketu are considered 2 extra planets( North lunar node and South lunar node respectively). They are planets in Hindu astrology as they are believed to influence our life although they don't have any physical existence and are considered accountable due to eclipses. But, Hindu astronomy doesn't consider them as traditional planets, for the past 2500 years or so.

(Graha cannot be translated exactly as planets, but just to understand what I'm tryinna say rn we can consider it). There are total 7 Graha(same as shown in the video), which influence life on the earth. And Sunday is actually the first day being influenced by sun. It is considered to be an auspicious day to start working, and not a holiday. You may easily find related videos on yt.

...You can't go back further than The Creation... Literally Day 1. (???) Another reason comes to mind on why the Babylonians adopted the seven day week: the Israelites were captured and enslaved by the Babylonians, and it is not unreasonable to me to suppose that some of their customs were adopted by them, especially as at least one prominent Israeli, King Jehoiachin, even lived in the palace and ate regularly with the Babylonian king (King Amel- Marduk, or Evil-Merodach). Given that King Nebuchadnezzar also acknowledged the God of Israel as Lord, he probably would have wanted to incorporate at least some of the new-found God's ways into Babylonian life.

Slight error at 5:45. The Babylonians had the lunar cycles mapped out exquisitely. They knew that after 223 lunations the exact conditions repeat, creating an identical eclipse, if there was an eclipse on the first day of this 18 year cycle. Look up Saros. They also probably inspired Meton of Athens, who calculated the similar Metonic cycle. It is still hard to divide the lunar synodic period (29.5 days) evenly. 28/4 = 7 is close... only off by 1.5 days.

The weekly cycle composing of seven literal days was long before the Babylonians. As a matter of fact it was long before the the peoples of the earth were devided into there separate kingdoms and tribes. The ancients already knew that the number seven held a special significance. If I'm not mistaken, I believe a discovery was made in a cave some years ago of a shrine built by a stone age culture which had no connections to the Babylonians. The researchers established that the builders of the shrine held the number seven of special significance. Moreover, as I mentioned earlier that the sacredness of seven by the ancients was long before the establishment of nations or kingdoms. According to the Bible, Noah also must have had a concept of the seven day cycle. (Note: all nations of the earth stemmed from Noah biblically) For the Bible mentions that Noah waited another seven days (a week) before he sent forth the dove. On a side note, the latest archaeological news of the research on Noah's ark is very exciting indeed. Information on the latest research can easily be Googled or attain on the internet. The new discoveries concerning this work appears to prove the authenticity of the biblical narrative.

After doing some research, it is clear that the Babylonians did NOT have a 7 day week. True, the 7th, 14th and 21st days of the month had some significance, but so did other days. Also after the 21st, The cycle was broken until the next month started. So there was NOT an independent 7 day cycle in their calender. That started with the Jewish Calender. It is possible that the Jewish Sabbath was inspired in part by Babylonian practices, but they were the first ones to use the 7 day week. The Romans, Greeks, and others commented on this as one of the Jewish peculiarities, and they thought that the idea of resting every 7 days was completely absurd. The concept of the week was spread by Christianity, and later, Islam. This is when the 7 days were named after the planets, in the Christian era, by Christians. Noone in the pre Christian era used a 7 day week except the Jews.

Exactly... And roman-christians (after emperor Constantine) accepted it, but changed it to Sunday to mark the end of the week/rest day from Sabbath day/Saturday, trying to still keep the old believes (Sunday representing god of sun) and mixing with new religion that came: Christianity, so it will be easier for people to accept it (cause it was huge change for the romans going from having multiple gods to having just 1), shifting the 7th day to be Sunday. Confirmation of this can be found in some Catholic scripts that they still brag about the feat to display their "power" as a church, by saying (and I quote) "perhaps the boldest things, the most revolutionary change the church ever did happened in the first century. The Holy Day, The Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures (Bible) " that statement can be found in Saint Catherine Catholic Church Sentinel, May 21, 1995.

@@Malfurionxtc Most of the first Christians were originally Jews; both Jews and Christians considered Sunday as the first day of the week, as they still do. Likewise, Saturday was always the last day of the week (the 7th). Jews called it the Sabbath, keeping it as a day of rest, and also as a holy day, both together. Roman Catholic and Orthodox have always, and still do, affirm Saturday as the Sabbath. But historically, in Christianity, the Sabbath, even the whole week, took on additional significance. Sabbath continues as the day of rest, but the entire week, every day, is to be kept holy, in work or in rest. Sunday is the day of Christ's Resurrection, and the remembrance of that event has always been pre-eminent among all within Christianity. The celebration of communion and the gathering of Christians for worship is central. This can be done on any day of the week, but it should be done at least once a week, and then most fittingly on the day of the Resurrection, Sunday. For this reason, Protestants have often given it the name "the Lord's Day". It does not supplant the Sabbath, though, for every day is holy, the Sabbath as well. As this video described, the English name "Sunday", like the other names of the week, were given for various pagan gods of varying locations. Those names are unrelated to the God of Christianity. Christ has always been known to Christians as the "Light of the World", the enlightenment of souls. The physical sun gives light in particles, a part of the universe we live in. Early on, Christians saw how that could be symbolic of Christ, but never has there been any confusion between them. There is no worship of the sun in Christianity, just worship of the Son of God, the Creator of All, including the sun. God's works are marvellous, and the pagans, not knowing Christ, can be recognized as seeing that also even though not understanding it well.

It is very meaningful, the 7 day weekly calendar- I'm not sure if I believe anyone can fully escape its influence, those of the 7 days... For example, today is best to interpret as Cimeb; people are calling it Afetefebeqel. One adjusts or rebegins the calendar on the First Day of Aries, Umkethexgeq 13th day by the present calendar I believe, every year; correctly with Azebulejube first, then Afetefebeqel, Peri through Sefefe, ending with Weqpef; then rebegin. Old Aeon the order of the first and last two here was reversed; best they should be as I've stated. Cimeb is the day of Mercurios, Ouranos, also Gizinwk or Trans-Pluto, and Phoenix; is the most spiritual of the 7 days; next most so is Peri, and backwards skipping one day each time ending with the most mundane, Azebulejube, day of the love divinities and also Neptune or Uethetexwihevej. I found a way to make a mandala of Eight days, on the I Ching two trigrams mandalas; from North, Azebulejube, then NE, Sabbath or Weekend; E, Afetefebeqel, etc... Cimeb is SW, then. Four trigrams can be interpreted relatedly there- Abysmal or K'an, K'un, Sunh and K'an again, for four levels: The Occult or Esoteric, Archetypical or Later Heavenly, Primal World, and Ante-Primal. These form the four hexagrams Abysmal or 29 probably best to call Idylling, Idiot, or Idling, Phallos or 7, Contemplation or 20, and The Well 48. The Gorgon calendar is not good, invented/advocated by an incarnate Gorgon demon; each month should have 30 days, each; Five extra days, right before Aries 1st day, can be called Urge Days (See the song "Incense and Peppermints" by The Strawberry Alarm Clock to better understand Urge Days)... -Niallis, Timekeeps

Akkadians with the north of Sumer in the area where stood, but by 1800 BC had ruled the area and already collapsed. Babylonians in the time of hammurabi were amorites who were from the Levant. Babylon was always culturally diverse but not descended from akkadians. Regarding the number 7, its use as the number of days of the week might have special connection with the lunar cycle, but that would be a special case. Ancient writings from the earliest of the Ur 1 period through to greco Roman mythology and later, are riddled with the number 7. It plainly has greater significance than anything related to time. 7 non stars visible in the sky seems the most credible
