Archeologists have discovered a lunar calendar in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, that is nearly ten thousand years old. Their findings show that the calendar makers (1) thought about time and (2) figured out a means to follow it at a period in history that was still in the Stone Age.
The discovery is considered both surprising and important because it now places a calendar nearly five thousand years before what was previously considered as the first formal calendar, created in Mesopotamia 5,000 years ago.
But here, a discovery has been made of a calendar construct appearing to track the phases of the moon nearly 10,000 years ago.
Scotland lunar-calendar find sparks Stone Age rethink
Scientists are now calling this discovery in Scotland that seems to mimic the phases of the moon to track lunar months the world’s oldest known calendar.
“What we are looking at here is a very important step in humanity’s earliest formal construction of time, even the start of history itself,” said Vincent Gaffney, professor of landscape archaeology at Birmingham University, who led the team who analyzed the pits and their functions.
Now that is an interesting tidbit. I wonder how much it differs from its current orbit. It has , I would assume , gotten closer as the time passed. We could make good guesses on the future of the moon if we had a good grasp of its past .
