The Osiris Ser.: Sun, Moon and Sothis : Calenders and Calender Reforms in Ancient Egypt by Lynn E. Rose (1999, Hardcover)

About this product

About this product

Product Information

The Ancient Egyptian Calendar followed the movements of the star Sothis (Sirius) as well as the sun. This book discusses how the Egyptians divided time, and then turns to a detailed examination of how Egyptian lunar calendars were tied by succeeding astronomers into the Julian Calendar, and thus into our own calendrical reckonings. The author suggests that a mistake in ancient calculations may mean a substantial error in our dating of the Middle Kingdom, meaning that it may be a much later period than commonly assumed.
