Why Egyptian had 365 days in a year? / Egyptian Calendar myth
God Ra created the world with 360 days in a year and retreated into the heavens, leaving his son Shu to reign. Ra decreed an order against the marriage of the earth god Geb and the sky goddess Nut. But they got married going against the will of Ra. Then Ra in his wrath ordered Shu, the air god, to separate them. Shu defeated Geb and raised Nut aloft, separating them permanently. However, Nut was pregnant, and Ra had decreed that she could not give birth in any month of any year. Seeing her plight, the god of learning, Thoth, gambled with the moon for extra light and thus was able to add five extra days to the official Egyptian calendar of 360 days. On those five days Nut gave birth to Osiris, Horus the Elder, Set, Isis, and Nepthys, successively.
