why is this so hard to get anyone feel the same?????????????
Its a great theory and explanation that why a leap year exists, except that people from different culture and part of the globe wont align or agree to this. This would shake and shame people who has half knowledge and blindly believes time based astrology. May be one side of the argument will be more precise an other sides will be less.
