^ The Ausar Auset observe that pattern I'm sure... something like that anyway.

We should be using the ethiopian calander;

Ethiopian calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rather than the gergorian;

Gregorian calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The time we are used to observing in general is distinctly ''off'' but it was for a reason, twelve o' clock noon should mark the height of the suns passage but it dosen't ''we'' now mark time atomically as the passage of the sun varies according to a persons location. The days of the week are marked according to the passage of various planets;

Monday = Moon
Tuesday = Mars
Wednesday = Mercury
Thursday = Jupiter
Friday = Venus
Saturday = Saturn
Sunday = Sun

Each day begins as the sun rises along with the various planet, then throughout the day each planet has its ''hour'' (not always 60mins) as it rises on the horizon going through the day until the next begins with its associated planet. These are called planetary hours, the day ends when the sun rises for the next. As Neferkare mentioned the ancients would utilize this, as each planet rises it has an effect on life on earth. Time should run according to this format or one it is derived from.

“There is no harder misfortune in all human history than when the powerful of the earth are not also the first men. Then everything becomes false and awry and monstrous. And when they are even the last men and more beast than man, then the value of rabble rises higher and higher and at last the rabble-virtue says: Behold, I alone am virtue.”- S.A.Israel
