Alexis Investigates - Why Does Our Calendar Look Like It Does? The Strange History Behind Every Date

We all use a calendar every single day, but almost nobody stops to ask where it came from. Why are there twelve months? Why is February so different from every other month? Why do September, October, November, and December still carry names that mean seven, eight, nine, and ten even though they're the ninth through twelfth months? And who decided we should have weekends?

In this episode of Alexis Investigates, we travel through thousands of years of history to uncover the calendar, and why one of the most ordinary things in your life has one of the most fascinating stories behind it.
