ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Anka year

Okay, kiddo, listen up! Anka year is a way to measure time that some people used a looooong time ago. It's kind of like a calendar that helps people know when certain things happened or when they should do certain things.

So, let's start with the basics. You know how we have 12 months in a year? Well, in anka year, they had 10 months instead. Each month had a different name, just like our months have names like January, February, and so on. But in anka year, the months had names like "Seed Time," "Harvest Time," and "Cold Time."

Now, here's where things get a little different. You see, in our calendar, we have different days in each month. Some months have 30 days, some have 31, and February only has either 28 or 29 days. But in anka year, every month had exactly 30 days! That makes it nice and easy to keep track of time, right?

But wait, there's more! Anka year also had special days called "rest days" that didn't belong to any of the months. There were five of these rest days, and they were celebrated by everyone. It was a time to rest, enjoy some fun activities, and just have a good time with family and friends.

So there you have it, kiddo. Anka year was a way for people to measure time a long time ago. They had 10 months, each with 30 days, and five rest days to celebrate with their loved ones. Pretty cool, huh?
