The year doesn’t start at the shortest day (Persian calendar is better in that regard).
month length is not evenly distributed. Why is February shorter?
time is almost never power of 10: there is 12, 60, 24
time zones are used to follow alliances: see al the nations that went to CET after fall of URSS
you can easily estimate your local time by looking at the sun
Holidays tend to happen on the same approximate dates even when major cultural changes happen. See how Christianity took over a lot of things from Romans.
