Researchers of history have discovered and published several [of the ones found] ancient calendars.
2 of these calendars had twelve months each 30 days, which total 360 days and to match the cycle of the sun 365 days as you may have heard, add five days at the end of july- apparently the longest day should be june 21 and if it is not, then at the end of july they added the missing days- it would seem to me better to add them at the end of May so it would be the longest day at the correct date but they chose not may, not june, but the end of july. primitive humans had not yet "evolved" mentally- yet.
in other ancient cities they did not add the five days together [before august=abgust] but had some months thirty days and some months- five in a row with 31 days similar to our/YOUR calendar but instead of last month [september] 30 and october 31 alternating long months, were a sequence of five months with an extra day.
in Zidon they had a calendar in which the SEVEN months of 31 days were not together- but alternated WHY DID THEY HAVE SEVEN long months? when 5 suffice as in the other cities for the sun's cycle of 365 days?
answer: those unintelligent primitives decided one month should be shorter- february with 2 less days than normal- than the other 30 day months with only 28
and YOU ENDED UP WITH THE DUMBEST and ugliest of all the possibilities.
human leadership preferred to adopt the "alternating short february month" of ancient ZIDON instead of the other possibilities and this decision was probably made by some catholics who had too much power.
finally a story- when i was a child i asked "why is february short" the teacher said because "we need to add a day to it in leap years with an extra day"
i refuted that, immediately- february could be 30 days like normal and in a leap year requiring an extra day for the sun's cycle [longer days and shorter days] 31 is still "normal" like many months. the teacher then said okay i will tell you a story-
and all the students gave me smiles that my question led to a story
augustus ceasar and julius ceasar wanted months with 31 days so first augustus took a day from february 30-1=29 and made august 30+1= 31 and called it august like his name augustus
the following ceasar, julius took another day from february 30-2= 28 in order to add a day to a second month called july for himself julius
which sounds good for kids...
until we discover the variety of ancient calendars described above and we see that july and august HAD 31 days even when february had 30 days... refuting this theory.
so we can conclude that the catholics used their authority to choose the most "unpatterned" of the calendars and compelled it on all their churches- the one you use- the one from the primitive zidonian human primates.
the most "patterned" of the possibilities would be to adopt the one with a series of 30 day months and then a series of 31 day months and julius and augustus would still rejoice that july and august have 31 days and not "role over in their graves" in protest. the leap year would add a day to a 30 day month making it 31 beside a 31 day month.
