thousands of __3__ before they knew how to put together __4__, weeks, months, and years.
More than 2,000 __5__ ago, scientists in Egypt made a calendar. __6__ were ten days in a week, three
__7__ in a month, and twelve months in a month, and twelve months in a __8__ year. This calendar shows
a way to __9__ weeks and months, but it was not __10__.
It does do matter how many days __11__ in a week, or in a month; __12__ number can be used. No one
however , __13__ decide how long a day or __14__ year should be. A day is the exact __15__of time it

It __12__ easy to take 10 days away from __13__ calendar. This made it right with the __14__ again.
There was still a problem: how __15__ keep the calendar right in the future, __16__ after year.
