the ancient egyptian calendar -- max uhlemann

if you browse thru my youtube channel you´ll see i made some audioreadings. one was of a public domain book from the 1850s about ancient egyptian astronomy & astrology... smart as i am, i wrote down an abbreviated form of the ancient egyptian calendar for your sublime viewing pleasure...

-- year of 365 days, divided into 3 trients of 120 days. 3 seasons. "flood" and "ripening" and "harvest".

-- 12 constellations of the zodiac.

-- 36 decans, weeks of 10 days each.

-- 12 months: 1 thout 2 paophi 3 athyr 4 achoeak 5 tobi 6 mechir 7 phamenoth 8 pharmuthi 9 pachon 10 paoni 11 epiphi 12 mesori year starts at

-- 5 annual leap days, namely 24-28 august who were celebrated as the g-ds birthdays. year begins on august 29th.(month of thout)

-- the springpoint moved 74° since the start of their calendar, and in 72 years theres 1° precession so 72x74° thats 5328 so their calendar must have started early after the biblical flood in about 3400 BC.

-- the 7day week was only introduced later, the greeks+romans also had it.

-- 28 moon stations

-- sothic cycle: 1461 years. the astronomical solar year is 365  and 1/4th day. the calendar year only 365 days. so they added every 1461 years a whole year ! this happened in 2782BC in 1322BC and also in 139AD.

-- the apis cycle: every 25 years the moon looks at the same day the same shape. (waxing,waning, crescent, full or dark.) a holy apis bull was being fattened in memphis and worshipped and after 25 years sacrificed.

-- the seth period: every 30 years. after 30 alexandrinian years, on the 1st of touth, sun and moon are again joined in conjunction. happened in 200BC under the reign of antiochus epiphanes.

-- the phoenix period: 652 years. mercury overlaps the sun right after spring equinox, where day and night have exactly the same length. happened 2555BC, 1904BC, 1253BC, 602BC. in hermetic teachings, the phoenix bird is said to be a bird that burns itself time and time again just to be reborn out of his own ashes.

-- the "great year" of 36,525 years: they didnt precisely calculate it but gave for 100 yrs about 1° precession thats why they made it 36,525 years. the "big year" was known to all ancient peoples and mythologically treated. (golden age - silver age - copper age - etc.) other sources make the great year (1 full precession) into 72x360° =  25,920 years.

in comparison to that, here the hebrew calendar...
