Just to make one comment about your 6 month year, do you realise that both today in Israel and ever since the festivals were instuted that passover, in Nissan, represents the first month of the year because the children came out of Israel, and today this is the beginning of the CIVIL year. And that the month wherin Taberbacles happens, Tishrei, represents the end of the harvest/crop cycle year - the first month of the Religious year.
There are two new years so to speak separated by 6 months, but this in no way ever did imply that the jewish year was six months long. Never.
