      Humans sure are strange. Mathematical astronomical geniuses but still stupid enough to believe in superstitious fairy tales they call religion. But perhaps that’s part of the (evil) genius too. The people who create religions are the ones who know how to psychologically control the masses.

      It looks like the Iranian calendar would have each year of a different length, since

      The Iranian New Year begins at the midnight nearest to the instant of the northern spring equinox, as determined by astronomic calculations for the meridian (52.5°E)

      This would make this kind of calendar extremely complicated to handle especially when not using computers
