Twelve months a year, why Ethiopia has thirteen months?

Ethiopia has thirteen months in a year, which has aroused the curiosity of many people. If someone travels to Ethiopia, they will be deeply attracted by their slogan: "Enjoy thirteen suns a year". This slogan can be said to be very simple, which shows that Ethiopia is different from other countries. Why does Ethiopia have thirteen months?

The first reason is that Ethiopia insists on using its own chronological method. As we all know, peace and development are the mainstream in today's world. In order to ensure the time consistency of every country in the world, all countries in the world use a unified chronological method. Therefore, with the exception of Ethiopia, all countries in the world have the same chronological method, and all countries have twelve months in a year. Only Ethiopia has always insisted on using its own chronological method.

The second reason is that Ethiopia believes that the birth date of Christ is later than the Gregorian calendar. This cognition has been deeply rooted in the minds of Ethiopians and influenced their dating methods. In the Ethiopian calendar, the first 12 months are almost the same as those in our country, and they are all 30 days a month. Their unique thirteenth month has only five or six short days, which are also called "forgotten time".

Ethiopia is famous for its unique dating method. In fact, the number of days in each country is the same, and time does not stay in any country. Ethiopia is a country that is out of step with the world chronicle method. They always stick to their own methods and turn their country into thirteen months a year, so many people traveling to Ethiopia will not adapt to the local time difference.
