1582: The Year Of Confusion. Julius Caesar (in 46 BC) made a year much longer than 365 days and then tried to make an adjustment moving forward. The problem (was that) this was an overestimation still. By the 1500s it was very clear that the calendar was not lined up. And this was Pope Gregory XIII who saw the problem .. and an opportunity to SKIP TEN DAYS that year (1582), in October, and just that year, to get back in line with the Seasons. After making that change, we followed the Gregorian calendar.
