    How far back in antiquity has the 7 day weekly cycle been traced?

    The week did not originate with the Babylonians. They named the 7 known planets but they did not apply these planetary names to the week days. The Egyptians at Alexandria did that. Eviatar Zerubavel, The Seven Day Circle (Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press, 1985), p. 9.
