Which country was the first to use 7 days-long week?
Ancient Greece
Ancient Egypt
Ancient India
Babylon
The seven-day week has deep historical origins in the astrology of Ancient Near East, being approximately a quarter of a lunation. It was (independently) adopted by the Persian Empire, in Judaism and in Hellenistic astrology, and (via Greek transmission) in Gupta India and Tang China.
