Drat, the traditional date on #IntiRaymi was yesterday and I forgot to make a thread. Darn timezones.

Feliz #IntiRaymi #WeTripantu #FeteDeLaMusique #SolsticioDeInvierno #SolsticioDeVerano para todos!!

It is known that pre-Avestan Iranian cultures also just had summer and winter, and the same may have been true of the earliest Sumerians. Under this system, starting the year with one of the equinoxes makes sense, since it marks the beginning of the brighter (Spring) or darker (Autumn) half of the year.

However, this is not universal; #IntiRaymi, the #Quechua New Year celebration, was traditionally tied to the Winter Solstice.
