The Ethiopia calendar also called the Ge'ez calendar is the principal calendar used in Ethiopia and also serves as the liturgical calendar for Christians in Eritrea and Ethiopia belonging to the Orthodox Tewahedo churches, Eastern Catholic Church and Lutheran Orthodox Church. It is a sidereal calendar based on the older Alexandrian or Coptic calendar, which in turn derives from the Egyptian calendar, but like the Julian calendar, it adds a leap day every four years without exception, and begins the year on August 29 or August 30 in the Julian calendar. A seven- to eight-year gap between the Ethiopian and Gregorian calendars results from an alternate calculation in determining the date of the Annunciation of Jesus.
Like the Coptic calendar, the Ethiopic or Ge'ez calendar has twelve months of exactly 30 days each plus five or six epagomenal days, which comprise a thirteenth month. The Ethiopian months begin on the same days as those of the Coptic calendar, but their names are in Ge'ez. The sixth epagomenal day is added every four years without exception on August 29 of the Julian calendar, six months before the Julian leap day. Thus the first day of the Ethiopian year, 1 Mäskäräm, for years between 1901 and 2099 (inclusive), is usually September 11 (Gregorian). It, however, falls on September 12 in years before the Gregorian leap year.
The current year according to the Ethiopian calendar is 2006, which began on September 11, 2013 AD of the Gregorian calendar.
MY QUESTION is:
Does it mean days,time and year are fallacy?
How do we even know we don't re-live each day again nd we call it a new day meanwhile its yesterday dat jus came back?
Does it mean ethiopia is living in d days we ve lived in the past if time and dates is continous?
Does it mean time waits 4 some people?
Or these day,week and year things were just made up by humans to keep records
Just asking to get descents that are not based on what we read from books or google
