Answer 2

What this has to do with organic and organic evolution I fail to perceive. i believe you're complicated atheism with the concept evolution is a actuality. The seven day week is an fairly Judeo-Christian custom. It occurs to be a properly idea. Our technique of time holding is probable positioned on a Babylonian variety, they invented the sixty second minute, the 60 minute hour and the 24 hour day. What the chinese did replaced into maximum typically really one in each and every of a kind, notwithstanding our ancestors did not comprehend about that. isn't it large how a lot human beings on those pages completely overlook about the undeniable truth that the chinese civilisation replaced right into a similar of a few element produced in the middle east or Europe until eventually eventually 500 - 600 years in the previous? And in no way mind the historic civilisations of the Ganges and Indus valleys. The Bible is a thick e book. It includes a number of of fabrics. a number of that fabrics is totally smart notwithstanding that doesn't advise all of it is, and neither does it advise that the textile in it replaced into formed. It replaced into now no longer, truly some it replaced into plagiarised from human beings who were round lengthy before than the Jews / Hebrews existed as a employer, such because the Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians and Egyptians. All of those worked out a number of of concerns for themselves, equivalent to necessary morality, time holding, hygiene, writing, mathematics, agriculture, mining and introduction of metals, pottery and fabrics at the same time as the Hebrews / Jews were although wandering about in tents and making very nearly no longer something themselves, and were without project barbarians.

Answer 3

I don't know the Roman names for these days, but the week started and ended with Sunday.
There were no 7-11 stores in ancient Rome. Survival was a full-time job for everyone. There were no days off.

Answer 4

"Although the original calendar of the Roman Republic was replaced, due to its many problems, some obsolete conventions continued to be maintained in the new calendar, such as voting days. It was created at a time January and February were the first two months of the year. Each day in their eight-day marketing week is identified by one of the letters A thru H listed vertically on the far left side of each month's column.

On the top line between day letter and abbreviation for month name is a "k·" short for kalendae, the name Romans gave the first day of each month. You can see that the first day of January was identified with the letter A. Special days were indicated by red letters including an A for the first day of each eight day period or an N or other letter in addition to the day letter for some other days. This may well be the source of our own term "Red Letter Days." You can read about the meaning of these letters at a page on the web.

Note that the last day of January is labeled E and the first day of February continues the weekly cycle with an F. Similarly, the last day of February is an A and the first day of March is labeled B."


The days were each identified with certain letters and names. The Kalends were always identified as shown in the diagram at right. The archaic form of the K, for Kalends, was used in front of the name of the month. The first letter was called the Nundinae ("nine day") , or the Nundinal letter, and it represented the market day. Every 9th day (counting inclusively) was a market day, but as it shifted every year, a designated letter between A and H would represent the market day for that year. The final letter identifies the type of day for purposes of religious observance or legal business."


Another element of Roman time that is foreign to us is the absence of the week. Our seven day week did not become part of Roman life until late in their history (321 AD). The week divided into seven days named after planets was borrowed from the Babylonians by way of the Jews. The seven day week of late Roman times has survived in the French names for the days (except for Sunday, which the French call dimanche, "the Lord's Day"): lundi (same as Monday, "the moon's day"), mardi ("Mars' day" = Tuesday: we substitute a Germanic divinity's name, as with Wednesday, Thursday and Friday), mercredi ("Mercury's day" = Wednesday), jeudi ("Jupiter's day" = Thursday), vendredi ("Venus' day" = Friday), and samedi ("Saturn's day" = Saturday). Before the fourth century AD, the Romans did have a division of the month based on a market day recurring every eight days. The market day was called nundinae (novem dies = "nine days," the Romans counted both ends of a series), but this unit of time did not seem to shape the lives of the ancient Romans the way our week does for ours with its regular recurring rest days at its end (Saturday and Sunday). But don't feel sorry for the Romans for not having the weekend, they had plenty of irregularly recurring holidays."

Answer 5

Romans calculated a week as a period of nine days. It was called Nundinae. Every ninth day was a market day. On Roman calendars of the period the non-market days are marked by letters A through H. Market day was the unofficial non-working day unless of course you worked in commerce.
The seven day week became common around the first century A.D. At that point the days of the week had become commonly known as Solis, Lunae, Martis, Mercuri, Jovis, Veneris, Saturni.
