which ever it was messed up terribly. they could have figured it out so that each day wasn't 1/4 of a second off...couldn't seconds have been just a tad longer so we wouldn't have to add one whole day every 4 years to make up for that mistake?

No civilization has. There are 365 1/4 days in a year.

The Egyptians had 3 different calendars, and none were correct. The Babylonian year had twelve months of 29 days each. Ancient Greeks had about one hundred different calendars, depending on where you lived.
The calendar of the Ancient Romans originally had 10 months with only 29 days per month. Eventually, events started falling on the wrong seasons.
To correct this, the Julian Calendar was invented. The Julian calendar was named for Julius Caesar. It had 365 days, and established the leap year system by adding one day, every four years.

Romans developed the Gregorian calendar.
The 365 day calendar we use today.

The Mayans. They built their temples, and suddenly the shadows and light started to line up everyday on a step.

We don't know, because we're still trying to figure out who the first civilization was...

I believe it was the Romans, since we abide by the Roman calendar.

The Mayans did, I believe.
