I think it's ki da weird that even though they're seemingly in the wrong place, they're all still in order. 7,8,9,10 are instead 9,10,11,12. Idk what happened but I just find it worth mentioning. What do you think about this?
There were only 10 , 36 day, months at one point. Then they added July and August for Julius and Augustus Cesare respectively.
This is actually quite the rabbit hole to go down because you eventually realize you could have lunar calendars instead of solar calendars, which used to be prominent in the past. And there's even the combination luni-solar calendar, which is basically a solar calendar, but at certain times it is "corrected" by also observing the moon.
The Olympics used to be held, if I remember this correctly, every year. It was a five day festival, to account for the five extra days each year (10, 36 day months would be 360 days), and that's where we get the 5 olympic rings. And I say festival, because, while it did include athletic competitions, that was far from the focus of it.

Just going off memory here. Julius Caesar wanted his own month, thus July. And there was some emperor named Augustus, wanted his own month as well and thus the month August was added.
There was a time when the first month of the year was March. March-1 April-2 May-3 June-4 July-5 August-6 September-7 October-8 November-9 December-10 January-11 February-12 Julius and Augustus Cesares both wanted months named after themselves. Julius was first so he chose July. Whatever it's name was before this was changed to July. Augustus also wanted a month named after himself. The month that became August, I don't know what it was called before that, had 30 days in it. February had 29 with one extra every 4 years to make 30. Augustus stole a day from February and added it to August so that his "month " would have just as many days in it as July. LOL. Me thinks him a little jelly of ol Julius. As far as moving the first month of the year? I don't know when it happened, but I do know that everything has been screwed with. Our history has been altered. Signs and times and days have been moved around and I believe it was done to fuck with us. The whole system that we all live in today has been arranged to make us weaker and less in tune with nature and the natural world around us.
