Why did they throw away the old calendar?
We changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar because it was out of synch with the solar calendar. The Pope consulted an astronomer and it was decided to add leap years to correct the problems. Catholic countries changed in 1582. However Germany did not until 1700 and Great Britain waited until 1752. Russia did not change until 1918.
When was the calendar invented?
AnswerThe Roman dates of the Julian calendar are taken from Greeks. Not all Greeks had the same calendar of an empire. Greek December 25 (means 10th month) goes back to 778bc when for 4 years it had been Egyptian Payni 25 (10th month). This doesnt mean the whole calendar existed, but rather the holiday was called 10th month 25th day. This is also evident that a smaller population of Greeks began this in 1498bc when our Julian Dec 25 was Kayak 25 (4th month that had traditions of being the 10th month, flipped in 1514bc but denied by the New Kingdom). Halloween also is such a date which Greeks of 1498bc regarded as the new year of 2021bc (Nov 1) and 1894bc (Nov 2). To do this they had to regard the Egyptian 365-day calendar as leaping dates forward every 4 years. Example (i.e.), 1894bc Nov 1 =Epipi 27, Nov 2 =Epipi 28 and eight years later (two leap days) the holy day Hallow Eve is Nov 1 =Epipi 29, Nov 2 =Epipi 30. This is how Christmas was too. The year 1498bc did not fix it for all Greeks, but 778bc did. In that year, Nov 1 and 2 and Dec 24 and 25 became fixed, known as leaping forward in Egyptian dates but referred to as November and December .AnswerThe first step in the formation of the modern calendar was made in the year 46 BC, (when after Julius Caesar conquered Egypt, FALSE-Rome conquered Egypt in 30bc), (he adopted the solar calendar of Alexandria, which consisted of 365 and a quarter days per year, FALSE-Augustus Octavian Caesar CREATED the Alexandrian calendar of leap days in 27bc, he did not ADOPT it, this is why it is fixed to new year Aug 29 and 30, our G.Sep 11).There was an argument for sometime over whether to have a leap year every three or four years. However, the senate decided to have a leap year every four years, and the "Julian Calendar," the predecessor of the calendar we know today was born. (FALSE- discrepencies are always excused, explained-away, and cast-aside by know-it-all scholars as "must have been disputes" of our former ignorant parental nations. There is no proof that the whole empire placed the leap day in the same year spuratically confused whether to do it 3 years or 4 years. This is like saying some USA states dont have daylight savings time because for 200 years the whole USA was all confused when hours should be advanced or not, and that some years we had it, and other years we didnt. 365 natural leap days of the leaping sphere of stars in 1460 years was known in 1314bc and 1310bc and 1290bc. It was also known in 1514bc which is why the Bible Genesis says they added (flipped) 180 leap days for their past 720 years. In fact what they call a Mayan discovery of 180 solar leap days in 744 years (360 in 1488 years; and 365 in 1507 years comes from Babylon 1626bc looking back at 2370bc). Scholars need to quit labeling Greece and Rome as ancient history, when real ancient is 2200-2000bc Egypt and Assyria and Babel and Ur.)However, the quarter day at the end of each year was not even, meaning that there was just around 10 minutes short of a quarter day each year. After 131 years, there would be an extra day not from a leap year, which meant that, for example, March would start to be in the summer very slowly. Around the sixteenth century, the catholic church was very unsettled from this state of affairs because Easter was almost in the summer. So, Pope Paul III decide to recruit new astronomers to make a new calendar to keep the days the same (except on leap years), including Christopher Clavius. He died shortly after, so his predecessor, Pope Gregory XIII, saw various proposals for a repaired calendar system. He chose Clavius proposal, and the Gregorian calendar, the one we know today, was born on Thursday October 4, 1582. The new repairs to the calendar introduced were:-10 days were to going to be skipped, so, the next day, Friday, October 5, 1582 would become Friday, October 15, 1582.-In the Julian calendar there was a leap year if the year could be divided by the number 4. In the Gregorian Calendar a years is a leap year if (1) it can be divided by 4 but not 100 or (2) It can be divided by 400.-New rules for the date of Easter were made.-The extra day on leap year was moved to the day after February 28th.After this, all the catholic countries at the time adopted the calendar. The rest of the countries in Europe, adopted the new calendar sometime between the 16th and 18th centuries. By the time Britain adopted the calendar, it required another correction of skipping eleven days. Britain adopted the modern calendar in 1752. Because all countries in Europe used the Gregorian Calender, (the modern calendar) all colonies of European countries in Asia, Africa, and South and North America used the Gregorian calendar as well. Because of this America, a previous colony of England, uses the modern calendar, the Gregorian calendar, to this day.AnswerNo specific date or period has been determined for the invention of the calendar, since it is believed that humans around the world have used different means to mark the cycles of nature throughout time. For instance, the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, and Mayans all had various calendar systems based on natural observations of the Moon's cycles and seasonal changes. The Egyptians were the first to work out a formula for the solar year (based on the position of the Sun), which differs slightly from the lunar year (based on the phases of the Moon). This formula was eventually adopted by the Romans and was the forerunner to the modern calendar.AnswerCalenders were made in 307AD

How they are counted the BC years - up or down?
BC years are counted down. For example: 312 BC, 311 BC, 310 BC... and so on until you reach 0, and then it turns from 0 to 1 AD, 2 AD, 3 AD, and so forth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Actually the BC years originally were counting in ascending order until 395 AD/ CE year that the Emperor Theodosius I the Great issued the decree that forbid the Olympic Games. The ancient world had as counting base the Olympic Games and the Olympiads - the 4 years period between two Olympic Games. There were counted approximately 290 Olympiads since they were introduced in 776 BCE. Several adjustments occurred in the course of time. The major one that survived to current days is the Julian calendar - still in use by the Eastern Greek Orthodox Church - which was introduced and adopted in 46 BCE and until 8 AD/ CE was monitored and fine tuned. This calendar was amended by the Pope Gregory XIII on the 24th of February 1582. The numbering of the years as we understand the term today was set and agreed in 412 AD/ CE. That is the reason that leaves a gap of 4 to 7 years since there is not a year 0 [zero].
Why do you think the legacy of roman law is considered so important?
I think it is important because it gave people rights. Others could make up a law because they were never written down until the Twelve Tables were made. They gave people an understanding of what was really going to happen and not what people want to happen. They could look and say someone made up a law to get them in trouble or they could look to see what they did wrong. This kept Rome in a tight government and out of riots.The main legacies of the Romans are religion, the alphabet, language, the calendar, law, architecture and literature.Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Later Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.Western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The only letters in the English language which do not come from the Latin alphabet are J, U and W.Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are languages derived from Latin (Romance languages). Many Latin words or words of Latin origin have entered English via two routes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the court language and many French words entered into the English language. These words are usually of Latin origin.Many international words in medicine, law and theology are Latin.The calendar we use is the Gregorian calendar. It is named after the minor modifications made by the calendar instituted by Julius Caesar (Julian calendar) by Pope Gregory XII in 1582. Therefore, we basically use the Roman calendar. We also use translations of the Roman names for the months.Roman law became influential through the Corpus Juris Civilis, a collection of books which reviewed imperial laws going back 400 years (to the time of Hadrian) and was commissioned by the emperor Justinian I. It scrapped obsolete or unnecessary laws, made changes when necessary and clarified obscure passages. Its aim was to put the laws into books (previously they were written on many different scrolls), harmonise conflicting views among jurists which arose from centuries of poorly organised development of Roman law and have a uniform and coherent body of law. It was rediscovered in a library in Pisa in 1070. It became the foundation of the training of the nascent profession of lawyers in Europe in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It has been used to compile the civil law of many modern nations.The Romans influenced European architecture, sculpture and painting until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today). Palladian architecture was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century.
