Cosmic Cycle Calendar

What if the calendar were designed around cycles of light rather than only numbered dates?

The historical questions

The research compares the Book of Jubilees, calendrical manuscripts associated with Qumran, the history of calendar reforms and scholarship on the Antikythera mechanism. These sources informed the author's modern design; they do not establish a single historically certain reconstruction.

The working model

The prototype presents a circle of 364 phases, 52 seven-part weeks and four seasonal blocks of 13 weeks. It also explores daylight, night watches, 3rd/6th/9th-hour prayer points and additional celestial cycles. Solar phases should not be confused with an exact civil-day calendar or a proven ancient standard.
