Note the error in the first sentence of the Enoch Calendar. Nobody said they knew how to count either.

.A short history of early time measurements. Still no comments on siderial vs solar days. Is it the time it takes the Sun to revolve around the Earth (as suggested above); the time for the Dog Star to do so; the time for the Morning and Evening Star? Clearly it cannot be the time for the Inconstant Moon to orbit the Earth. Perhaps it's the time between high tides.
