The Gregorian calendar, which is widely used across the world today, is a relatively recent development when considering the vast expanse of time.
Historically, many civilizations and cultures devised their own methods to track time, often relying on the lunar cycles. Evidence of ancient lunar calendars can be found in cave paintings that are thousands of years old.
In contrast to our current calendar, which comprises of 12 months, the lunar cycle completes 13 times over the course of 365 days, meaning a slight misalignment.
