Ever heard of Ethan Allen? How about the Revolutionary War? Well I’m here to tell you that many people had a part in it. Many people like Ethan Allen. Ethan Allen was a leader, a fighter, and a warrior.
History- The Smoot-Hawley Tariff act of 1930, was a protectionist act in order to protect American industry, and American farmers. This act was originally introduced by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah. And Representative Willis Hawley of Oregon. This act was to raise the already high tariffs in the United States.
The Aztecs had both a 260 day calendar and a 365 day calendar. In both calendars the months were 20 days long, with the 365 day calendar having more months than the 260 day calendar. The 260 day calendar was used in events such as predicting the future. The 365 day calendar was based on the solar calendar. At the end of this year, there were five unlucky “days of nothing”, and was celebrated by the Aztecs with dancing, singing, and sacrifices done by priests.

Timeline: 49 BCE-Caesar crossed the Rubicon River with his army. The Rubicon River is the border between Gaul and Rome. The Senate advised Caesar to disband his army and not pass the river because it would create a civil war in Rome. Because Caesar disobeyed his army, the Senate lost their trust in Caesar.
The calendar is an important thing we use to tell time. There are calendars all across the nation in school, in our homes, in our businesses, and many other places.
First, the Olmecs made two accurate parallel calendars. One was a 365-day solar calendar used as an everyday calendar and the other was a 260-day
The Aztecs had quite some knowledge over the aspects of measuring time. The Aztecs even knew of the movements during the equinoxes, solstices, the movements of Mars, Venus, the Moon, and the constellation of the stars. They didn’t break the day into hours or minutes. The sundial was used massively in the Aztec times. As the Aztecs were quite a sophisticated and smart society they were able to realise that the earth would revolve around the sun and the shadows would move according to the time.
A calendar marks the seasons and avails farmers to ken when to plant and harvest their grain. Like many antediluvian societies, China predicated its calendar upon the phases of the moon but then integrated extra months. This was because a solar year is not evenly divisible by an exact number of lunar months – there are about 12.37 lunar months during a solar seasonal year – so without the extra months, the seasons would drift each year. This is called a lunisolar calendar. The Chinese calendar ergo had a thirteen-month year every two or three years.
The calendars they used represented each God. The Aztec calendar had three wheels within it: there was a 260 day cycle, a 365 day cycle and a 52 year cycle.
They had a system of different calendars that connected like gears. This system made it easier to figure out the ceremonial events that occurred. Not only that, but it calculated future eclipses and counted how many days were there in a year. Like them, our calendar today compared to
The ancient Egyptian calendar, invented over 5000 years ago, had 365 days and was originally based on a cycle of 12 months. They grouped the 12 months into three four month seasons to correspond with the tides of the Nile. The ancient mayan calender was incredibly accurate; they calculated the solar year to have 365.2420 days, which is only 0.0002 of a day off of what is now known to be the true length of a year. Although both Maya and Egyptians had 365 day years, there were a few differences between what the civilizations associated with the days. There were two Mayan calendars, a sacred calendar, which had 260 days, and a secular calendar based on the stars, which had 365 days.
The next calendar the Maya used was called the Haab'. The Haab' is a secular calendar that has no religious or spiritual basis counting a solar year of 365 days. This calendar does not account for the extra quarter-day each year it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun. Our modern calendar corrects for this calculation offset by adding an extra day to February every four years, making a 'Leap Year.'
Julius Caesar was a politician, general, and dictator. He once said, “It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.” He was an incredible speaker of the time and was very well liked by most citizens. He brought a lot of change to Rome and was a very strong leader. Julius Gaius Caesar was born in Rome Italy, in 100 B.C., on July 13th.
The Egyptian calendar played the biggest role in Egypt’s growth as an overall civilization. The Egyptian calendar was extremely vital to Egypt’s knowledge of things happening around them. Floods would happen every year at roughly the same time, this season was known as Akhet, which means Inundation. If the
