Intutive knowledge in archaeology

Nobody seems to get the point that to determine that the annual orbit
of the Earth is 365 days 5 hours 49 minutes or roughly 365 and a 1/4
days ,a fact needed fo create a calendar system,that you need the
equable 24 hour day first in order to determine the fraction of a day
used in the calendrical correction.
The network of different elements that creates the equable 24 day out
of the noon cycle and the calendrical cycle as a product of the annual
cycle calcuilated in equable 24 hour days should astonish people,the
intricate division between the system which creates the 24 hour day
and the system which creates the calendar system is an astonishing
sight to behold .Very few human creations are as delicate or as
flexiible as both systems when they are recognised in their
respective ways.
Many years ago I would have refused to believe,especially with the
popularity of the Longitude story and John Harrison,that men would
stick with the terrible act of intellectual vandalism that
shortcircuited appreciation of the great advancements in timekeeping
and structural astronomy and I still refuse to believe that men would
do these things.
Whether it is the roofbox of Newgrange or the angle of inclination
(50 deg 50 min) which the builders of the Great Pyramid chose to
represent their astronomical and geodetic knowledge ,the contemporary
version represented by 23 hours 56 minutes 04 seconds is breattaking
in its vascuousness and its catastrophic effects.There simply is no
intutive intelligence existing to appreciate what the great builders
did or what the late 17th century guys did to create a nonsensical
mess.
You do not even have enough intelligence to know the enormous damage
that is being done to the one vibrant Western civilisation through an
anti-intutive empirical agenda.
