III. And how did the ancient Bulgarians keep track of time?<\/h2>\n

And children today know that the Proto-Bulgarian calendar is globally recognized. In 1976, UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) announced the ancient Bulgarian calendar as the most accurate in the world. Scientists are amazed by the accuracy with which the Bulgarians found a way to count time in a period when most peoples of the world were semi-wild nomads.<\/p>\n

The Proto-Bulgarian calendar is Solar, not Lunar<\/strong>. The year begins around December 21, which is the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. This day was independent and did not participate in any month. They called it Zero Day or Eni-Alem, and today we know it as One Day or Ignazhden. The year has 365 days, with the remaining 364 days divided into 4 quarters of 13 weeks or 91 days each. The first month of each quarter had 31 days and the remaining two had 30 days. Every fourth year is a leap year and a zero day is added after the sixth month.<\/p>\n

The years are grouped into twelve-year and sixty-year cycles.<\/strong> The twelve-year cycles are related to the orbit of the planet Jupiter around the Sun (11.86 years). Each year is named after an animal. Sixty-year cycles are sidereal days. At the end of every second sidereal day, i.e. at the end of every 120 years, one leap day falls. In such a case, the duration of the proto-Bulgarian year was 365.241667 average solar days. The length of the tropical (solar) year \u2013 (the time between the vernal equinoxes) is 365.2422. An error of one day accumulated over about 1,800 years, or thirty 60-year cycles. It is likely that this bug was also fixed with an additional leap day drop. The beginning of the Bulgarian calendar is 5504 BC, and the Byzantine calendar is September 1, 5509 BC (Acad. Nikola Bonev). This era leads to deep antiquity. According to the ancient calendar of our ancestors, 7526 years awaits us. from the Creation of the World.<\/p>\n
