Question: Court presentations of aristocratic young ladies to the monarch took place at the palace from the reign of Edward VII.

After World War II, the ceremony was replaced by less formal afternoon receptions, usually without choreographed curtsies and court dress.

Question: Artifacts from the Paleolithic suggest that the moon was used to reckon time as early as 6,000 years ago. Lunar calendars were among the first to appear, either 12 or 13 lunar months (either 354 or 384 days). Without intercalation to add days or months to some years, seasons quickly drift in a calendar based solely on twelve lunar months. Lunisolar calendars have a thirteenth month added to some years to make up for the difference between a full year (now known to be about 365.24 days) and a year of just twelve lunar months. The numbers twelve and thirteen came to feature prominently in many cultures, at least partly due to this relationship of months to years. Other early forms of calendars originated in Mesoamerica, particularly in ancient Mayan civilization. These calendars were religiously and astronomically based, with 18 months in a year and 20 days in a month.
Is there an answer to this question: How long were the original lunar calendars?

Answer: either 12 or 13 lunar months (either 354 or 384 days)
