I had a bit of a left-field thought today. Have they intentionally screwed with the calendars to promote the idea of climate change, global politics, and to disconnect people from the sky, stars, and their natural environment.
I propose that the length of the true year is between 360-364 days in length. I think 364 is the most likely.
364 / 28 = 13
There are 28 days to the moons cycle, and this would break nicely into 13 lunar months. I think we are supposed to use the moon to tell dates and time alongside the stars, not the sun.
The sun is being used to throw everything off. It's part of their solar worshipping. They changed the calendar to be solar and adjusted to make it fit, but the sun was never supposed to be used for time keeping.
It is causing an extra 1.25 days every year to shift the actual seasons around. Very subtle, and not really enough to notice except over a lifetime - which would only be corroborated with at least 60+ years to truly notice as your idea of the months would be respective of your birth year.
This was likely done around the 1700's and would have coincided likely with the American/french revolution (revolve) and it pushed the ideas to the forefront of society.
Since this would result in approximately 100 years seasonal shifting, you could setup narratives for climate change (cooling and heating) because they are being told that December is supposed to be a certain way when in fact it's supposed to be tracked with 13 lunar months instead.
Yep. Winter comes a day later every year. It's always the Hot/Coldest (Month) on record for their articles, because old records drop off and new records are slowly oscillating.
Permanent panic porn.
I found this passage in part of the Book of Jubilees which is apparently a 364 year (no extra day)
"14 And they will forget all of my laws and all of my commandments and all of my judgments, and they will err concerning new moons, sabbaths, festivals, jubilees, and ordinances"
Interesting idea... reminds me of phantom time hypothesis, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_time_hypothesis
I'm too ignorant to appreciate the full extent of the phantom time hypothesis, but that 297 years period missing from the calendar is oddly compelling
Ultimately I think the year would have to be based off the sun because seasons are based off of when the sun's declination reaches the equator, or tropic of cancer, tropic of Capricorn. Anyone can use a sextant to check where the sun is on its annual route over earth, or monitor hours of daylight in their location. FYI I am a flat earther, but it's the sun's declination over earth that dictates seasons on both models, so it doesn't really matter. That being said, the sun might dictate seasons/years, while the moon simultaneously dictates months. I recall the ancient Hebrews had a year that was 364 days as you said, with one or more neutral days in between to ensure the seasons don't become misaligned with the years. I don't know if anyone is sure how these neutral days are calculated. They have certainly screwed up our calendar with a 365 day year, and leap years to continually throw us off.
I had considered adding a 'new year day' but the months need to coincide with the moon, so I feel like you cannot inject a day unless you do so in the length of your day as well. Ie....you don't use our clocks either to tell the time.
I think about this often. I've lived in the same area for over 20 years now. It's anecdotal, but I remember that when I first moved here, snow was guaranteed to fall a couple weeks before Halloween. And winter would be pretty much over by April. The last few years, snow has come at earliest on Halloween, but usually closer to Thanksgiving and then sticks around until nearly June. Again, anecdotal, but I have definitely noticed it.
Maybe connected with the calendar change between Julian and Gregorian.

What is the Hebrew calendar based on?
This was actually a topic last week wasnt it lol?
I was saying that I dont think so. Many countries and people have been keeping records, in some cases, impeccable records.

Japan was one of them.
I cant just see everyone being in on it.
But when would they have screwed with the calendars lol?
When they switched over from julian to gregorian? At most they could have fudged a hundred years, not a thousand is what I would think.
But perhaps you guys may be onto something, but think about this.
It seems like to me, that humans have always had the same "idea" of how to measure seasons and time. It just became more refined as time goes on.
Or what about mesoamerican calendars? Like the famous mayan one.
These ancient people built monuments that to this day are still lined up with the solar equinox's. Did they really do it just by recording shadows from a stick in the mud? Or perhaps we should listen to what these old stories say when they say this knowledge was given to them. Whatever, if its all a lie, its one written into the very face of this planet.
One last thing, the farmers almanac.
People used to bet their lives on these things, and it only started to fail them recently.
Why would we have some many rules of thumb and confusion with dates and time despite it being one of the most important parts of our society. If we cannot easily understand why do we believe they didnt mess with it?
Why do so many people in the past refer to slightly different numbers of days in the year? Is it maybe because the sun rotates around the world in a procession which slowly drifts over time, rather than just the world wobbling - so we are not supposed to use the solar position but rather the lunar position?
Wtf. Jannies!
6-32 And you (Moses), command the children of Israel so that they shall guard the years in this number, three hundred and sixty-four days, and it will be a complete year. And no one shall corrupt its (appointed) time from its days or from its feasts because all (of the appointed times) will arrive in them according to their testimony, and they will not pass over a day, and they will not corrupt a feast. 33 But if they are transgressed, and they do not observe them according to his commandment, then they will corrupt all of their (fixed) times, and the years will be moved from within this (order), and they will transgress their ordinances. 34 And all of the sons of Israel will forget, and they will not find the way of the years. And they will forget the new moons and (appointed) times and sabbaths. And they will set awry all of the ordinances of the years. 35 For I know and henceforth I shall make you know—but not from my own heart, because the book is written before me and is ordained in the heavenly tablets of the division of days—lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk in the feasts of the gentiles, after their errors and after their ignorance.
36 And there will be those who will examine the moon diligently because it will corrupt the (appointed) times and it will advance from year to year ten days. 39 37 Therefore, the years will come to them as they corrupt and make a day of testimony reproach and a profane day a festival, and they will mix up everything, a holyday (as) profaned and a profane (one) for a holy day, because they will set awry the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees. 38 Therefore, I shall command you and I shall bear witness to you so that you may bear witness to them because after you have died your sons will be corrupted so that they will not make a year only three hundred and sixty-four days….
