What was the original idea of our calendar? And did every month have 8 weeks or so? Were weeks longer?

Since the 12th month is December, a 13th month should obviously be called Undecember (the undec- prefix meaning 11 in Latin).

Better yet, just stick the new month in the middle of the calendar, but don't rename the months that have numbers in their name. It already worked once (thanks, Romans).

Is it true though?

364/28 = 13

The Human Calculator Calendar by Scott Flansburg: https://calendars.fandom.com/wiki/Human_Calculator_Calendar

As thewitchslayer says, the lunar month has 29.5 days. English common law has a "lunar month" which is 28 days though.
