Why does everyone use a 7 day week, and where did it come from? Where do the names of the days come from? And who can we blame for Mondays? Here’s the true story of one of the oldest human customs still in use today. It gets a little weird.

You mentioned mensuration, and it's honestly a good theory of why specifically 7 days (rather than the number 7 itself) would be important to people before math and astrology. I mean, if half of your people bleed for about 7 days for reasons that are unidentifiable to you, you might consider it important to take note of. Especially if you noticed it happened to cycle with the moon.

[@KrXYT]

That's a really cool observation I never thought of it like that lol. Why weren't more religions based around that back then?

[@MaryAnneAchieng]

I doubt they'd have made that connection since the average period is anywhere between 2 and 7 days, so I don't think it would've been a significant-enough observation Edit: also, unless they'd be recording the number of days of the women's period, women dont have their periods at the same time

[@timeWaster76]

This is a pretty damn good video from a theatre perspective. It's like watching one of the countless maniacally insane conspiracy theorists online these days - except this time, ironically, it's entirely based in solid math, science, and history. That said, from a teaching perspective, it's a little too hard to follow compared to your other videos. I worry that this is what I might look like at the front of the classroom when I'm low on sleep and having a bad day.

[@Gob.]

I believe if this was showed to students only one time it might be slightly difficult to keep up, especially in a classroom environment. For me just watching this at home in my room with no distractions it was easy to follow. Then again im neuro divergent so he was basically talking at my inner monologue speed.

A captivating presentations of the origins of the 7 days of the week. I recently did some research on the origins of the 7 notes of the major scale in music and stumbled on the same the 7 gods of both Babylon and Hellenistic Greece. Incidentally there are also 12 possible motes names in western music but that is for a different reason.

[@mariobarcelon7226]

Oh yes, just seven notes and it can create thousands of composition and even genres.

[@musicauthority7828]

The musical alphabet is the same as English Alphabet. with the exception that there is only seven letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G. in the musical alphabet.

[@renesongs]

@@musicauthority7828 but why only seven letters why not 12 15 or 24?

[@musicauthority7828]

@@renesongs Those are just the basic seven notes, there are many more complicated notes. for instance minor and major notes that are built off of those seven notes.

[@renesongs]

@@musicauthority7828 Yes there are 12 Notes in western chromatic scale and at least 66 notated notes in western music BUT the whole point of this comparison is that we chose to give letter names to only 7 notes . Each Major or Minor scale in western music only has 7 notes i.e. they are septatonic. As a jazz guitarist I use way more than 7 or even 12 note or intervals including slurs and bends in a single chorus of a song .

Revelations 13:18 says 666 is the number of the beast. 13x18=234 (234+432=666) (432÷2=216 | 6x6x6=216) Palindrome. The hexagon has 6 sides, coincidently the planet saturn has a hexagon on its north pole. A hexagon is a cube in a 2d prospective 🎲, a cube has 6 faces. If you add the numbers 1 to 36 it equals 666. If you square the first 7 prime numbers and add them up it equals 666 36 (three six 666) From the first planet to the last, saturn is the 6th, from the last planet to the first, saturn is the 3rd, (36) ✡= 666 (6 triangles, 6 points, 6 sided polygon a hexagon ) A triangle 🔺️is 666, it's composed of 3 60° angles. 60° x 3 = 180° (gamatria) 180°+180°= 360° ✡ is composed of two overposed triangles. The cult of saturn 666. Kabalah= cube worship kaba= cube alah= god (little g) G is the 7th letter of the english alphabet. IX=9 XI=11 (IXXI) 💈🕋💈 IXXI= 9 11 (7+4=11) 74(11)x9= 666 Revelations 3:9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you.

And please don't come with the " it's really not 666 but 616, it's all a coincidence or something like that. People who believe in "coincidences" are the same people who believe in "luck" or "destiny". Part of 666 (not all) has to do with the roman emperor Nero Kaiser or Neron , however you wanna call him/it. The difference is that one has an extra "N" ( "נ" nun, nun equals 50 in hebrew gamatria) The hebrew letter "nun" is equal to the latin letter "N" "Neron Kaiser" in hebrew = נרונ קסר In gamatria, each letter corresponds to a number. 50=נ 200=ר 6=ו 50=נ 100= ק 60=ס 200=ר + _______ 666 666= Neron Kaiser (נרונ קסר‎ = NRON QSR) with the two nun's (נ) 616= Nero Kaiser (נרו קסר‎= NRO QSR) without the extra nun/n (50) Subtract a nun (50) from 666 and it equals 616 Neron was known as Nero in many places, the 616 is just to confirm it's Nero Kaiser. (6+1+6=13) Ancient Christians (Christianity is over 2k y.o.) associated Neron to the antichrist, because he was! (antichrist simply means, against Christ) Neron persecuted and wanted to eradicate Christians. (But not exclusively)

You should’ve also mentioned metric time and the unidember calendar. Metric time was something proposed in the French Revolution around the time that the rest of the standardized metric system was being implemented. It essentially done away with a lot of the superstition around the measurement of time and also removed any and all names referring to ancient gods. The unidember calendar is a proposed calendar that adds an extra month to the 12 month system. Which means every month is divided into 28 days, exactly four weeks, and it lines up almost perfectly with the moon calendar.

[@freeman8857]

Saturn is the 6th planet, saturday (saturn-day) is the 6th day, the book of genesis in the bible says that man was created on the 6th day. In revelations 13:17 it says that 6 is the number of man. Revelations 13:18 says 666 is the number of the beast. 13x18=234 (234+432=666) (432÷2=216 | 6x6x6= 216) Palindrome. The hexagon has 6 sides, coincidently the planet saturn has a hexagon on its north pole. A hexagon is a cube in a 2d prospective 🎲, a cube has 6 faces. If you add the numbers 1 to 36 it equals 666. If you square the first 7 prime numbers and add them up it equals 666 36 (three six 666) From the first planet to the last, saturn is the 6th, from the last planet to the first, saturn is the 3rd, (36) ✡= 666 (6 triangles, 6 points, 6 sided polygon a hexagon ) A triangle 🔺️is 666, it's composed of 3 60° angles. 60° x 3 = 180° (gamatria) 180°+180°= 360° ✡ is composed of two overposed triangles. The cult of saturn 666. Kabalah= cube worship kaba= cube alah= god (little g) G is the 7th letter of the english alphabet. IX= 9 XI= 11 (IXXI) 💈🕋💈 IXXI= 9 11 (7+4=11) 74(11)x9= 666 Revelations 3:9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you.

[@CharlesBosse]

I don't mind if pluto isn't a planet, as long as we acknowledge that by that definition only Jupiter and Saturn are clearly planets. :) Since Pluto is trans-neptunian, objects the size of Neptune and smaller aren't clearing their own path it seems. And since there are moons without cleared orbits bigger than Mercury it DEFINITELY doesn't count. That, or you have to start counting all our LaGrange locked space probes. Oh, wait we weren't going there.

[@melitopiia4730]

@@CharlesBosse But trans-Neptunian just means the object orbits further than Neptune from the Sun, it doesn't have anything to do with size. A planet simply has to be massive enough to be nearly spherical, size has nothing to do with having a cleared neighborhood
