Re: History of Black Women in the Mathematical Sciences
"In ancient Kushite-Kemetan space science, they used the cosmis rhythm of the female body and the phases of the moon as the basis for reckoning time. [John G.] Jackson says, 'At an extremely early date, a connection had doubtless been observed between the 28-day cycle of the moon and the menstrual cycle of woman, and between changes of the moon and ocean tide.' This was the beginnings of the lunar calendar and as fas as we know the first calendar. As the Kemetan astronomers continued to observe the roundness of the heavenly bodies, 2 days-symbolizing the duality of the masculine and feminine force-were added to the 28 day month making 30 days so that at the end of the 12 months the calendar would fulfill the 360 degree cycle-circle of all things. After further investigation they created the 365 day calendar year to synchronize with the journey of the golden orb of our solar system. There is a very interesting story of how and why the god Tehuti added the 5 days and created the solar calendar which again is directly connected with the birth cycle."
