The earth's orbit WAS 360 days and Mar's orbit WAS 720 days prior to 701 BC.

All major civilization's calendars were based on a 360 day year but in 701 BC, the two orbits almost coincided exactly and the near fly by threw both planets into the orbits we are in today.

But, don't take my word for it. Find the book "Catastrophism." and judge for yourself. ;=]

Thus, we have 360 degrees in a circle because 1 degree was the rotational distance that the Earth moved in 1 day. They really knew (well, some of them did) that the Earth revolved around the Sun and they, also, thought that the Earth's orbit was a circle with the Sun at the center.
