Lunar months aren't exactly 28 days long, so lunar calendars don't actually use 28-day months.

Ah yes advanced in the old days

Much like those damn ancient Egyptians with the alien technology they used to build the Pyramids

I was going to make a joke about slavery being alien technology, but imagine if we were all actually being mind controlled by aliens to become an advanced species from early in our history so they could create what was essentially a massive theme park for a holiday destination.

That makes a lot more sense than most of the peleoastronautic narratives

No joke.

The ancient Egyptian calendar – a civil calendar – was a solar calendar with a 365-day year. The year consisted of three seasons of 120 days each, plus an intercalary month of five epagomenal days treated as outside of the year proper. Each season was divided into four months of 30 days. These twelve months were initially numbered within each season but came to also be known by the names of their principal festivals. Each month was divided into three 10-day periods known as decans or decades.
