When did time become a political instrument?

A video on how the gregorian calendar came about and the coxworth proposal that changed the calendar that aligned with the cosmos and our own biology. 






From the description of the video and not me: explains how humanity abandoned one of the most mathematically precise, biologically synchronized calendar systems ever used — a thirteen-month, twenty-eight-day structure documented independently across dozens of ancient civilizations — and replaced it with an irregular, politically constructed calendar built around the names of Roman emperors, without a single serious public reckoning about what that exchange actually cost us?
The standard explanation — that the Gregorian calendar simply won out through institutional adoption and religious authority — collapses when you examine what the infrastructure actually replaced: not a flawed or primitive timekeeping system, but a calendar in perfect resonance with the lunar cycle, the human body, and the natural rhythms of the living world. A system so elegant that thirteen times twenty-eight equals exactly fifty-two weeks.

As I investigated the ancient record — from the Aubrey Holes at Stonehenge to the Maya Long Count to the Egyptian epagomenal days — a disturbing pattern materialized. These weren't parallel coincidences across unconnected cultures. They were the same underlying logic, embedded in stone and ceremony across continents and millennia. And then, in the early twentieth century, when reformers came closest to restoring it — when George Eastman adopted the International Fixed Calendar for Kodak, when the League of Nations convened serious committees — the effort stalled. Quietly. Completely. With gaps in the archive that cluster, with unsettling precision, around the exact moments of peak momentum.
 
Because here's what the replacement also did. It didn't just reorganize the administrative week. It may have severed something older. The synchronization between human beings and natural cycles — body, moon, season, sky — that had structured life across every pre-modern culture was quietly superseded. Not banned. Not destroyed outright. Just made irrelevant. Legally invisible. And the generations that remembered another way of living inside time died without passing that memory forward.

This investigation examines whether the calendar we inherited was designed not to serve the rhythm of human life — but to replace it. And whether something older, something that can't be quantified or quarterly-reported, was lost in that replacement.

Eventually... assuming people begin to re-examine passed "common sense" they will realize that there is a terrible danger in allowing 'authority' to change something ... just to make it "their own."

As it was, the 'clock' was the technological monster in the closet... not because of what it 'measured' but because once measured, it can be valued and used.  Enter 'trade' of time.

As if each moment's value were first 'economic' and in hindsight only 'of human concern.'

By changing the 'clock' and our implicit obedience to it as the principle measure of productive life; we demand that we change to serve it...
only we have no place to 'demand' anything of nature...
so we sicken ourselves to conform to someone else's clock..
and the plan that someone charts from 'their' clock.

Power has many faces.

I would have preferred that you told me which calendar it was, as I hate videos. Smile

I watched the first 3:40 of the video and stopped when he talked about the lunar cycles of 29.12 days and 27.3 days and that a 28 days month would sit "almost" exactly between those two numbers.

If it's "almost" then it's as perfect as he says.

PS: I still don't know which calendar he is talking about, if it's a real calendar some civilization(s) used or just a theoretical calendar.

I think it is this one.

It does seem more in line with natural rythms. I don't really see it makes much difference though except in business. It is not like the Moon cares what month it is.
I know too much and question everything.
Does anyone know the minimum safe distance of ignorance?
Did anyone ask the monkeys how much fun the barrel actually was?

Sorry been busy he is talking about the gregorian calendar which is an offshoot of Julian calendar which Caesar got from the Egyptians solar calendar during his visits with cleopatra and I believe the one he likes though is Babylonian & Hebrew Calendars: These were strictly lunar or lunisolar, relying on the sighting of the new moon to begin months. However he also mentions a 12 month 30 day calendar and thats what the Egyptians had and the Roman's changed it constantly to keep their friends in power and for political favors etc and then its been updated throughout the centuries. I hope that answers it I will make a note that you hate videos and be more direct :)

It does also mention the international calendar as well but as I was programming while it was playing I took it as it was speaking negatively about the international calendar but perhaps not Biggrin hell I never know what day it is or even time makes no difference to me I just thought it was conspiratorial enough to go up here. I think this video is confusing the actual facts though. I'd have to re watch it and play close attention with my ADHD im everywhere all the time. Right now I'm looking into making a video game with Godot because its open source and I hear its easier than Unity so I'm curious. I was writing Lua scripts for Roblox last night for my son Biggrin lol he wants to make a roblox game but I hate animations and art stuff. I like logic and code more.
