    Calendars
    What is calendars and what is the purpose of calendars ?
    Calendars is a system of organizing days of social. This is done by
    giving names to periods of time, typically, days, weeks, months,
    years. The calendar in most widespreod use today is the Gregorian
    calendar, introduced in the 16th century as a modification of the
    Julian calendar, which was itself a modification of the Julian calendar,
    which was itself a modification of the ancient Roman calendar. The
    first recorded calendars date to the Bronze Age, dependent on the
    development of writing in the Ancient Near East, the Egyptian and
    sumerian calendars. The New Year in 709 AUC ( AD4 ). The resultant
    Julian calendar remained in almost universal use in Europe until 1582.
    The purpose of the calendar is to reckon past or future time, to show
    how many days until a certain event takes place—the harvest or a
    religious festival—or how long since something important happened.
    The earliest calendars must have been strongly influenced by the
    geographical location of the people who made them. In colder
    countries, the concept of the year was determined by the seasons,
    specifically by the end of winter. But in warmer countries, where the
    seasons are less pronounced, the Moon became the basic unit for
    time reckoning; an old Jewish book says that “the Moon was created
    for the counting of the days.”
