I couldn't find any strong fact about the begining of the seven-day a week cycle outside the Bible's creation. Does anyone have any knowledge?
It doesn't goes to the month and neither to the years.

One point of view:
It has been noted that each day represents one of the main planets and each has a specific quality that gives a "flavor" to the day, ie Jupiter is knowledge, Mercury is intellect, medicine, finance, Venus is the arts, etc.
Sunday-Sun
Monday-Moon
Tuesday-Mars
Wednesday-Mercury
Thursday-Jupiter
Friday-Venus
Saturday-Saturn
No strong "facts", as we know it, exist. The Bible says everything is G-d's creation and everything is an expression of the Creator.

Week was created in the Bible. Day, month and year all came from astrophysics.

Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared

The knowledge to answer your question comes from reading Genesis. That is clearly the start of the 7 day week.

Most measures of time are arbitrary measures decided by humans for convenience.
