There should be 13 month in a year and 28 days in a month. The middle of

That doesn't work. 13 does not divide evenly into the 365.24 rotations
the Earth performs as it revolves around the Sun once. Nor does 28
divide evenly into the 27 days and 8 hours that elapse for every cycle
of the moon.

13 does breakdown to leaving one extra day a year that would need to be added to a month somewhere or left alone as month 14.

Not possible. The length of the year is not a simple multiple of the
length of a day. Furthermore, the length of the day is not constant.
