Where Did Calendar Come From

Where Did Calendar Come From. The earliest calendars date back to the bronze age with civilisations in the near east region, such as the babylonians and persians, being among the first to record time by using natural cycles. Our modern calendar began with the julian calendar, introduced by the roman empire in 46 bc under julius caesar.

The gregorian calendar is a modification of the earlier julian calendar, which as the name suggests was proposed by roman dictator julius caesar. This made a calendar year of 304 days.
