The ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, and Egyptians in the Near East, and the Mayas and Incas in ancient America, all spoke of a 360 day year. The Calendars through the Ages “Web Exhibit” has valuable insights on the oldest calendars that man ever used. According to this document, the 360 day year was the norm until the eighth century BC. In that century most civilizations realized that the year was at least 365 days long, not 360.
Ancient astronomers (who doubled as priests) typically declared a month with the new moon. When a month lasted only 29 days, the priests considered that “unlucky.”
