Query: Epilogue: Modern Civilization as the Destruction of Archaic Order
Key Concept Missing in Chapter Body
Quoted text:
The lunacy of beginning the year 10 days late instead of on the winter solstice, which falls awkwardly on December 21 instead of on January 1, simply so that in Julius Caesar’s day it could coincide with a new moon.
Some of this is discussed in generality (“the Julian calendar”) but we’d like to see these specifics from the Key Concepts section about Julius Caesar (and his Julian calendar) and the winter solstice in the chapter body; can you help us insert it in the Epilogue chapter body? See also Chapter 1 for a cohesive discussion on both.
