You know, when you see moons, you count them, to begin with. I counted them, and the number of these crescents is thirty seven.
Von Humboldt You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (p. 127) that the ecclesiastical (if the term may be used) year of Muysca indians contained 37 moons. He further suggests (p. 235) that the cycle of twenty times thirty seven sunas is an Asiatic one, not specifying which Asicatic calendar this is exactly.
Assuming the VMS is pre-Columbian, what calendars have been there with 37 moons?
Thanks for counting them!
37 moons is the simplest way to fit the lunar year to the solar year by adding one moon every 3 years (and again every 30 years to take care of the remainder).
Evidently the Muslim calendar is based on this observation, but it is also posited for neolithic and Bronze Age use. This very interesting article You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
