Well, Roman numerals was 1+5+10+50+100+500=ing 666. Proving that Rome was the antichrist too. But that's off topic and weird of me 🤣😜🤪 interesting fact though

With correct math we don't need leap years and fraud calendars. My birth day would always be on a Sunday every 11th position of the sun. February is the 11th zodiac because it's the 11th sun position before passover aka day 0. Fuck this Roman clock. Women are still in tune with the moons position

Some deeper facts we overlook . A day is 24 hours beginning at day 0.01 second! 13 moon cycles in 1 solar year. Every moon cycle is 28 days. 13×28=364 with day 0. Rome canceled many cultures. But math is math! It doesn't lie and crucify people lol. The house of your zodiac is your true month.
