What Was Omar Khayyam's Contribution To The Calendar? - Understanding Southwest Asia

Описание: What Was Omar Khayyam's Contribution To The Calendar? In this informative video, we will explore the remarkable contributions of Omar Khayyam to the development of calendars. As a prominent scholar from Southwest Asia in the 11th century, Khayyam played a pivotal role in transforming the way we measure time. Under the guidance of Sultan Malik-Shah, he led a talented group of scholars in reforming the Persian calendar, resulting in the creation of the Jalali calendar. This solar calendar was meticulously designed to align with the solar cycle, marking significant moments such as the vernal equinox and the celebration of Nowruz.

We will discuss the innovative leap year system introduced by Khayyam and his team, which helped maintain the calendar's accuracy over the years. The precision of the Jalali calendar is truly impressive, with an error margin that far surpasses that of the Gregorian calendar used in the West. The legacy of Khayyam's work continues to influence modern timekeeping practices, particularly in the Iranian calendar.
