If only there was an easy way to convert the Gregorian calendar to this lunar calendar. But as far as I can tell, nobody does this!
In fact, the actual lunar calendar itself seems to be completely missing from the literature. It's really bizarre.

It could be that all the stuff I'm referring to exists in history books, not so much online. I am not a good historian.

It could also be that the Gregorian <-> lunar conversion *is* harder when all you have is a pencil and paper. I forget about that sometimes

lunar is more hunter gatherer, solar dominates equatorial and long term settlements. so lunar never caught on.

Weird, I would have thought solar dominated any part of the world with recognisable seasons, not equatorial regions?

Possibly to obfuscate the fact that it's actually the Jewish lunar calendar? (Or is it? I don't actually know)
