Ancient slavic calendar

The Old Slavic calendar (Krugolet) is built on the ancient hexadecimal system of calculation, 16 years of the Krugolet pass through 9 Elements, creating the Circle of Life, which has 144 years. The beginning of Years of the Circum-Golet falls on the day of the Autumnal Equinox. On this day, the great ancient holiday New Year began. The full Solar Circle was divided into three periods of time - Autumn, Winter and Spring, and when combined they give a solar circle - Summer. Summer lasts 365.25 days, so 15 Years is 365 days each, and the 16th Summer is 369 days, that is, 4 days are added to the 16th Summer. This periodicity is called the Circle of Years (15 simple + 1 Sacred Summer = 16 Years), and passing through the figurative nine elements create a periodicity of 144 Years - the Circle of Life (16 * 9 = 144).

The widespread use of the ancient Slavic Calendar ceased in 1700, when Peter I introduced a foreign calendar. The week was shortened to seven days, and the number of months in the year increased and their names changed.
