sorry about this folks...

I read where someone claims that the origin of
the 360 degree circle is from ancient Babylonia,
not the tv series...and the article claimed that the
360 number was used because the year actually
used to be 360 days, not 365+...

the further claim is made that this can be shown/proven
by reverse calculation of the orbit of earth....

first, is this true?  can you calculate the orbit of the earth
backward historically?

second, the article goes on to claim that during the time
that the earth had a 360 day year, the orbit of mars
brought mars between the earth and the moon....

fantastic claim, just wondering if it's true or calculate-able

thanks
