If a month represents a lunar cycle, and there are 13 lunar cycles in a year, why only 12 calender months?

And why were the days of the13th month divided up among the other 12 and distributed so?

    because a lunar cycle takes only 28 days to complete.

    Maybe because some believe that 13 is unlucky? Haha, just taking a guess.
