A better time, a better history - part 1

We want to know where we go. We plan and make things in the future dependent on choices we make now. This isn't really what we choose, but simply causality. This has been going on for millenia. Painful thing is, we are now stuck with an unrealistic timeframe of 2016 years, from some arbitrary date, which is chosen by a group that had only one motive: control, and is only based on a lie (religion). As humanity will eventually outgrow its own superstition, I don't think Year 1 at the date of a person that didn't exist, makes sense. We know for instance that the oldest written proza is from 2150 years earlier. Why not use that? Make it 4716 AG (After Gilgamesh), which is a more solid calculation, not chosen on whim of some arbitrary group that wants their fantasy to hold truth by it, but simply because we (as humanity globally) know this dating is more correct.

But it isn't very solid to say 2700 added, because the dating says the earliest preserved version of the Epic of Gilgamesh was written 2150-1400 BCE, but seemingly he was ruler several hundreds of years before.
True, but the oldest date calculated remains pretty fixed. It is the dawn of humanity as we are currently part of. It is a beginning of causality that lead to us, as a species of 6+ billion individuals.

There are many options, but I think it becomes more and more important to change the dating and seasonal shifts to the observed, rather than the obscured.

A year should start (as it does in other cultures) on a globally distinct moment. An equinox or solstice is most obvious choice here. You can choose to take the first day of a 'blooming' around 21st of march (when the darkness has resided), or the moment that days are shortest (around 21st of December) and moving towards lighter times, or visa versa (21st of June).

Also, the month periods have been under scrutiny for a long time. We are using a month index that is cumbersome. We could change the naming of the months, but at least the starting of the years should move.

Basically we have 4 shifts of axis. 2 equinox, 2 solstice.

If 1 of the 4 is the beginning of the year, the rest would cut the year in 4 (as we know seasons do). This is the same, all around the world, but the kind of season depends on the location (southern hemisphere is summer, when northern is winter and visa versa).
