a. There have been a lot of cultures that call the ancient people of the world illiterate, but each of the cultures I have examined so far have one serious fact, they all had a calendar. To make a calendar you have to have 2 things that are at least basically developed. The first fact is you have to have a numbering system to count to and from a given point, the next thing you need is you have to have some form of writing that more than a few people understand so the calendar can be read.

i. Celtic

ii. Chinese

iii. Days of the Week Seasons

iv. Greek

v. Gregorian

vi. Holliday

vii. Julian

viii. Lunar Phases

ix. Mayan

x. Pagan

xi. Roman

xii. Solar

xiii. Solstice

xiv. Runic half month

1. This is as it was presented to me by several sourese.

The main problem with this is. It is commune place to have ancient ignorant cultures to have calendars, and ways to track the seasons, but the problem with that is, it takes math, a comprehention of language on a not small scale, and a perception of the passage of large bodies of time. The complexity and the ideas that go into the making of this
