Another thing that’s better in the Persian calendar is they have all the months with 31 days first, then all the ones with 30 and finally the last one has 29- that’s a nice orderly progression, nothing like the insane thirty days has September April June and November, all the rest have thirty one except for February.If the Christianity was originated in Persia, one advantage would have been a more scientific calendar system. The Persia had a better calendar system than Rome which started on spring equinox. The Julian Calendar and the Gregorian Calendar are both quite unscientific and continued due to sheer inertia of people who stick on to tradition.

How is 31s then 30s then 29 better than alternating 31 and 30 with one 30 being just 28/29?Another thing that’s better in the Persian calendar is they have all the months with 31 days first, then all the ones with 30 and finally the last one has 29- that’s a nice orderly progression, nothing like the insane thirty days has September April June and November, all the rest have thirty one except for February.
Even in the Gregorian Calendar there is no logical order in the choice of months with 30 and 31 days and 28 for February. If it is 30 for the first month, 31 for the next five and 30s for the remaining six, and the year starts with spring equinox, I think the autumn equinox and summer and winter solstices will fall on the first days of the months. In the leap year the first month too can have 31 days. Several proposals have been put forward for the revision of the Gregorian Calendar. The French Revolutionary Calendar which was very similar to the ancient Egyptian Calendar was also one such move. The 454 system with fixed weekdays for the dates of all months was another proposal.How is 31s then 30s then 29 better than alternating 31 and 30 with one 30 being just 28/29?
I agree the Julian Calendar is bad by not matching the solar year but Gregorian corrects this.
It followed the original long short method for each half of the year and was devised around a lunar calendar. Was perfectly logical until adapted to the solar one.Even in the Gregorian Calendar there is no logical order in the choice of months with 30 and 31 days and 28 for February
