Additional calendar observations .. I cannot think of any other civilization that has had as long and continuous calendar without correction, other than the Jews. Patriarch Hilell (sp?) introduce the current Jewish calendar in the Jewish 4th century -- that's 5300 years ago. Their calendar has existed with no alterations since. No reforms; just the same calendar running like clockwork. Even the Chinese cannot make such a claim. They have had to reform their calendar, as I believe have the Hindus and of course ours (the Gregorian). But the current Gregorian calendar is only 1500 years old so it doesn't count in the longevity battle.

The Jews belong to a very old and noble civilzation.

"Even the Chinese cannot make such a claim....
The Jews belong to a very old and noble civilzation."

It was some Jewish comic who observed that such a thing is impossible,
for how could you have Jews without Chinese takeout?
