Cool project. I had thought that months aren't quite a human construct, they correspond roughly to lunar cycles. Weeks were a way to carve the month up into the four lunar phases per cycle. Seconds, minutes, hours, etc. are, as you say, all sexagesimal math bias. |

Referencing actual phenomena would be more elegant - but wouldn't show correct date (see my comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47686522)
