One extra week every seven years, except that there would be two extra weeks every fourth "Saturday year", i.e. every 28 years. Then it's as accurate as the Julian calendar.

It's apparently just the personal speculations of one guy -- speculations which I regard as historically quite problematic, since the information necessary to go beyond the Julian calendar in accuracy was only known to a relatively small number of Greek or Babylonian astronomers, and was completely ignored by Julius Caesar in his calendar reform of ca. 45 B.C. Apocalyptic-minded Jews were not generally closely tied into to the latest Greek and Babylonian intellectual and scientific developments -- especially in this case, since Greek and Babylonian astronomy were heavily intertwined with astrology and astral mysticism, which were objectionable from a Jewish religious viewpoint. <a href="/wiki/User:AnonMoos" title="User:AnonMoos">AnonMoos</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:AnonMoos" title="User talk:AnonMoos">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Enoch_calendar#c-AnonMoos-2009-03-20T02:40:00.000Z-Michael_Hardy-2009-03-19T22:15:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:40, 20 March 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-AnonMoos-2009-03-20T02:40:00.000Z-Michael_Hardy-2009-03-19T22:15:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-03-20T02:40:00.000Z","author":"AnonMoos","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-AnonMoos-2009-03-20T02:40:00.000Z-Michael_Hardy-2009-03-19T22:15:00.000Z","replies":["c-AnonMoos-2009-03-21T12:29:00.000Z-AnonMoos-2009-03-20T02:40:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-AnonMoos-2009-03-20T02:40:00.000Z-Michael_Hardy-2009-03-19T22:15:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-AnonMoos-2009-03-21T12:29:00.000Z-AnonMoos-2009-03-20T02:40:00.000Z"></span>Also, claims of being "more accurate than Gregorian" are often inaccurate because the calculations are being made on the basis of the mean tropical year, while the Gregorian calendar was actually meant to approximate the vernal equinox year (the <a href="/wiki/Revised_Julian_Calendar" class="mw-redirect" title="Revised Julian Calendar">Revised Julian Calendar</a> is one example of a calendar which has been claimed to be more accurate than Gregorian, but isn't really, when the vernal equinox year is used as the basis).

So the double leap-year-week, which happened every 28 years, needs to be skipped once in every 32 28 year periods. So 32 x 28 = 896. So every 896 years, the double leap-year-week is replaced by a single leap-year-week. </p><p>Interestingly, 896 = 7 x 2^7, so this would be a highly significant number to a society deeply involved with the number 7. The calendar is attributed to Enoch. Enoch was the father of Methuselah, who lived for 969 years, we are told. </p><p>No, 896 is not equal to 969, but both are quite close to 900, which was the popular approximation, So is this the reason why the Enoch calendar is so attributed, and was the great cycle of 896 years referred to as a Methuselah? </p><p>Dave at 168 10:43, 7 October 2019 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd><dl><dd>When the Book of Enoch was being written, knowledge of year-length approximations more accurate than 365.25 was basically confined to professional astronomers. At the time, astronomy was not clearly distinguished from astrology, and astrology had come close to displacing traditional Greek religion among many Greeks and persons influenced by Greek culture, so that apocalyptic Jews did not associate closely with astronomers/astrologers (in fact Jews had a special insulting term for pagans, "worshipper of stars and constellations"). Also, the concept of "mean tropical year" was then unknown... <a href="/wiki/User:AnonMoos" title="User:AnonMoos">AnonMoos</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:AnonMoos" title="User talk:AnonMoos">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Enoch_calendar#c-AnonMoos-2019-10-14T07:13:00.000Z-A_better_rational_ratio_for_year_length." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:13, 14 October 2019 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-AnonMoos-2019-10-14T07:13:00.000Z-A_better_rational_ratio_for_year_length."><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-10-14T07:13:00.000Z","author":"AnonMoos","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-AnonMoos-2019-10-14T07:13:00.000Z-A_better_rational_ratio_for_year_length.","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-AnonMoos-2019-10-14T07:13:00.000Z-A_better_rational_ratio_for_year_length."></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <!-- NewPP limit report Parsed by mw‐api‐int.codfw.main‐74959dc8bc‐9r4d6 Cached time: 20241126152112 Cache expiry: 864000 Reduced expiry: true Complications: [vary‐revision‐sha1] DiscussionTools time usage: 0.010 seconds CPU time usage: 0.117 seconds Real time usage: 0.165 seconds Preprocessor visited node count: 113/1000000 Post‐expand include size: 7738/2097152 bytes Template argument size: 3/2097152 bytes Highest expansion depth: 6/100 Expensive parser function count: 3/500 Unstrip recursion depth: 0/20 Unstrip post‐expand size: 8880/5000000 bytes Lua time usage: 0.078/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage: 1551579/52428800 bytes Number of Wikibase entities loaded: 0/400 --> <!-- Transclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template) 100.00% 129.336 1 -total 100.00% 129.336 1 Template:WikiProject_banner_shell 42.36% 54.789 1 Template:WikiProject_Time --> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:idhash:16169528-0!canonical and timestamp 20241126152112 and revision id 1201768465.
