In the video Lana is using Yule, the winter solstice holiday, as a foundation for analysis. Hence the sun reference. But you are right. She probably does take 'the solar year' idea a tad too far in what you describe.

Africa's Negro populations have the same relationship with the moon as lemurs do -- they know it is in the sky occasionally, and sometimes they may look up and marvel at the light it provides that particular night.

I know of no calendar conceived of in sub Saharan Africa.
