Witness of the Times – Bonus Episode: Listener Q&A
Welcome to a special bonus episode of Witness of the Times! We're at the halfway point of Season Two, and we wanted to pause and answer a couple of excellent listener questions that came in after Episode 5, which explored the Babylonian origins of timekeeping.
Today, we’ll dig into why February is so short—and yes, it involves Roman superstition, royal egos, and a few missteps in ancient math. We’ll also explore how the Jewish calendar differs from the Gregorian one, and whether its roots also reach back to Babylonian astronomy.
This episode is our way of thanking you for your curiosity and support. If you have a question, you'd like us to explore, email us at [email protected] or message us on Facebook at Witness of the Times.
