I doubt any calendars were based on Venus, since as both Earth and Venus move, and at different rates, there wouldn't be much regularity in its appearance (We can calculate that now, but the math is well beyond that of any simple society). For a long time, Venus was not even recognized as a single object, since it can appear both as a Morning and as an Evening "star."
Calendars were pretty consistently based on either 1) the Sun or 2) the Moon, or 3) both, with corrections being made to bring the two into sync.
Venus, however, along with the other planets, was included in many calendars, being awarded a certain hour of the day, and eventually a day of the week (Friday).
