YES.the incas had a solar and lunar calendar
It was based on religious beliefs
No, a lunar calendar is based on the moon and the calendar that we use is a solar calendar, based on the sun.
the Muslim calendar is based on lunar calendar and it does not have any leap years. the lunar calendar is shorter than the solar calendar and therefore the lunar calendar falls out at the different point in the solar calendar every year
Judaism uses lunar and solar together. They add an occasional leap-month to reconcile it to the solar calendar. Islam uses the lunar calendar exclusively. Druids use the Lunar calendar; and Christians use the Lunar calendar to calculate Easter every year. Some Satanists and Pagans use the Lunar Calendar. In fact the Lunar calendar is used by everyone to some degree.
Because in the Chinese Calendar, which is the Lunar Calendar, it is the New Year. The Lunar Calendar and Solar Calendar is different.
