re: #76 HappyWarrior

My old boss was Iranian. Iirc he told me that their calendar begins with spring. I liked that. But yeah so much our culture is informed by Christian conceptions of things. Which is why you have to laugh when you hear that they’re persecuted.

The calendar start year may have been set by Christian conceptions but the 12 month calendar is inherited from the Roman Empire. And I have no doubt that some time in the future the start year will be reset again, assuming we haven’t destroyed civilization in the interim.
