The Week Gets Seven Days
Could you imagine having a 10 week? Once upon a time both the ancient Egyptions and Chinese did. The 7 day week originated with ancient Babylon. They worshiped the sun and moon as gods, they also studyed the stars and noticed that most of them stayed in place execpt for 5 that moved back and fourth throughout the year. They identified the moving stars (Planets) with Gods and Godesses and they gave to each of the 7 days of the week the names of one of the seven deities connected to the sun, the moon, and the 5 moving starts (Planets).
