Something amazing and something exciting happening with Ethiopian Holidays ...get ready! #ExoticAndTimeless #TheNewSpiritOfAfrica | Maina Kageni

But this calendar is far from being uncontested - there are more than 40 alternative ones in use around the world and some countries have established capricious rules for their own timekeeping systems. We look at some of them, and at the quest for a perfect calendar that has kept scientists awake for centuries. #ContestedCalendars
