Is there a practical reason to count moon phases? Like its not impossible they were just counting the moon for fun but is it not more likely they were keeping track of the days for practical reasons ie. the period hypothesis?
You mean apart from them occuring at set intervals? The length of time between the average women’s periods is 28 days, but the moon’s 28 day cycle is 100% reliable, and always happens regardless of individual stressors. Having a regular solar event that confirms you’re accurately keeping track of days is pretty practical.
