  • But the 7 days comes from the amount of time it takes to go from one visible lunar phase to another

    I’m not arguing with that, but my question is different: where in history is the exact reference point (day) of today’s weekday countdown? From when have people decided to stop adding or subtracting adjustment days and kept counting till today? The might have been some shifts along the way, but there should be a point exactly N x 7 days ago from which the 7-day countdown has not been interrupted. Or at least the earliest known day in history that everyone on Earth agreed upon as a reference point.
