In designing his new calendar, Caesar enlisted the aid of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian astronomer, who advised him to do away with the lunar cycle entirely and follow the solar year, as did the Egyptians. The year was calculated to be 365 and 1/4 days, and Caesar added 67 days to 45 B.C., making 46 B.C. begin on January 1, rather than in March.

In what crafts and technical achievements did the inca excel?
Talja [164]

The Inca culture was one of the most developed in pre-Columbian America. Among their achievements, was their architectural ability. Inca structures were made of stone that fit together, with extraordinary stability. The buildings have survived for centuries, with no use of mortar, in areas that are prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.

The Inca also developed calendars based on astronomical observations. Astronomers understood equinoxes, solstices and zenith passages. Numerical information, particularly for administration, was stored in <em>quipu</em> strings.

In terms of art, Inca ceramics were highly advanced, although most of their silver and gold work was melted down by the Spaniards.  

They were also advanced in medicine, performing skull surgeries successfully and with high survival rates.
