Both the Egyptians and the Sumerians created calendars to keep track of time. What was the primary difference between their calendars?
A) The Egyptians based their calendar on the moon, which was very accurate. The Sumerians based their calendar on the sun, which required intercalary months inserted. B) The Sumerians based their calendar upon the moon; to make up for annual inaccuracies, they periodically inserted intercalary months to right the calendar. The Egyptians used the solar year, which was extremely accurate; they divided the calendar into twelve months (thirty days each) and inserted five days on the end to total 365 days. C) The Egyptians and the Sumerians both used lunar calendar models. While the Egyptians inserted extra days at the end of each year, the Sumerians inserted intercalary months periodically to right the calendar.
