There are different beliefs, traditions, castes and religions in different parts of the world. But if there is one thing common in all these places, then it is the year and months. But there are many cultures in the world that use different types of calendars to know the year and date. All these calendars are not like the Western Gregorian calendar. But they all believe that there are only 12 months in a year. But there is a country on this earth, where there are not 12 but 13 months in a year. You must be surprised to know this, but this is true. Not only this, because of 13 months, this country is lagging behind the whole world by 7 years. A video post related to this is also going viral on social media.
According to the viral video post, the name of this African country is Ethiopia. Ethiopia has a total of 13 months in a year, in which the 13th month has a total of 5 days, while the week has a total of 5 days. But in the year when there is a leap year, there are 6 days in the Ethiopian calendar. You will be surprised to know, but let us tell you that the whole world has celebrated the New Year of 2024, but in Ethiopia it will be celebrated on 11 September 2024. Let us tell you that the Western Gregorian calendar has been recognized in most countries of the world. But there are some countries that believe in their ancient calendar. However, despite this, all calendars have only 12 months, but in Ethiopia even today the same calendar is followed which was amended by the Roman Church in 525 AD. Because of this, the new century in Ethiopia started from 11 September 2007.
