Nope.
Here's an interesting article about it, nonetheless:

But also the year almost divides by 7.
The Solitaire Mystery has some interesting ideas on a new calendar.

I like the idea of 7 days to a week, 4 weeks to a month, 13 months to a year and a spare day off (or 2) for celebrating! You could use the same calendars each year and work schedules etc would be so much simpler.

Tell me theists, why do you think there are seven days in a week?
This should be a serviceable theistic response, if you are still looking.

Originally posted by avalanchethecatI'm not sure but I thought around Ceasars time they ceased to have 13 months and opted for 12 for reasons unknown to me.

If there were 13months, the significance of 7 would be more clearer ( just following on from wolfie )
