Extended data:

All the weeks in the modern west, the Seven Obsidian Days in China and the Seven Obsidian Days in Japan, were introduced from ancient Babylon and the ancient Jewish state in the east, and may have originally come from the calendars of Amorites or Hebrews (the predecessors of Jews).

Jews spread it to ancient Egypt, and from ancient Egypt to the west. In the eighth century, China introduced China's calendar by Manichaeism with the date method of seven obsidian, and continued their respective versions in China and the west.

The name "Seven Waste Days", which stands for seven days a week, first appeared in the ancient Babylonian civilization in the two river basins. Around 700 BC, the system of dividing the week into seven days appeared in Babylon, and the surrounding areas were merged into one month.

Babylonians built seven-star altars to worship the stars. The seven-star altar is divided into seven layers, and each layer has a star god. There are seven gods from top to bottom: sun, moon, fire, water, wood, gold and earth.
