The Kemetic (Ancient Egypt) Stellar (star) year coincided precisely with the solar year only once every 1,460 years
The Kemetians (Ancient Egyptians) used a calendar with 12 months of 30 days each, for a total of 360 days per year,
they added five extra days at the end of every year to bring it more in sync with the solar year.
In our Calendar we have merged the Kemetic Months with the Gregorian Months {2]

The Kemetians (Ancient Egyptians) calculated that the solar year was actually closer to 365 /4 days, but instead of having
a single leap day every four years to account for the fractional day, they let the one-quarter day accumulate. After 1,460
solar years, or four periods of 365 years, 1,461 years had passed. This means that as the years passed, the
months moved out of sync with the seasons, so that the summer months eventually fell during winter. Only once every
1,460 years did the calendar year coincide precisely with the solar year.
In addition to the civic calendar, the Kemetians (Ancient Egyptians) also had two other calendars, one that is based on the
29 /2-days Lunar cycle and as we stated earlier one that is based on the Solar cycle of 365 1/4 [1] days.

In our Kemetic Calendar we kept with the 7 day week and super imposed the kemetic days over them for your convenience.

The true purpose of a calendar is to stay in harmony with the cycles, to show how many days until a certain event takes
placethe harvest or a religious festivalor how long since or until something important happens. The earliest calendar
cycles were strongly influenced by the geographical location of the people who made them. In some countries, the concept
of the year is determined by the cyclical changing of the seasons, specifically by the end of winter. But in warmer countries,
where the seasons are less pronounced, the Moon became the basic unit for time reckoning.
Most of the oldest calendars were lunar calendars, based on the time interval from one new moon to the nexta so-called
lunation. In a warm climate there are annual (cyclical) events that are highly influenced by the solar cycle. In some areas it
was a rainy season; in Kemet it was the annual flooding of the Nile River. The calendar had to account for these yearly
events as well.
Our Kemetic Calendar incorporates the lunar cycle too.

Note each month the moon cycle falls on different dates

[1] The correct figures are lunation: 29 d, 12 h, 44 min, 2.8 sec (29.530585 d); solar year: 365 d, 5 h, 48
min, 46 sec (365.242216 d); 12 lunations: 354 d, 8 h, 48 min, 34 sec (354.3671 d). Only 11 days short of a
solar year.

The Agricultural calendar of Ancient Kemet was based on a cycle divided
into 3 parts with four months each. Each month has 30 days. At the end was
an additional month of 5 sacred days, celebrating the birthdays of Ausar,
Auset, Seth, Nebthet, and Heru-ur. The Neteru Tehuti was credited with
having devised the calendar and added the five extra days.

The three parts of the agricultural cycle were the Harvest (Akhet ), the
Inundation (Shemu ), and the Planting (Peret ). Originaly the month were
just numbered from 1 to 12, then at some point they were given names
The four months of the Harvest were Tehuti, Menhet, Het-Heru, and Renutt,
the four months of the Inundation were Shef-Bdt, Rekh Nedjs, Rekh Ur and
Ka-Hr-Ka , and the four months of the Planting were, Khenti-Kheti, Khonsu,
Ipt, and Mesh-Ra.
Here are the glyphs that are used in the Ancient Kemetic Calendar in

Our new Calendar incorparates this ancient Kemetic system into our modern
Gregorian calendar system
Note: The Modern Calendar, also called the Western calendar and the Christian calendar,
is internationally the most widely accepted civil calendar. It was introduced by Pope
Gregory XIII, after whom the calendar was named, by a decree signed on 24 February
1582; the decree, a papal bull, is known by its opening words, Inter gravissimas. The
Gregorian calendar was adopted initially by the Catholic countries of Europe, with other
countries adopting it over the following centuries.
