This lecture will be presented in three sections:
• What is known about the Egyptian calendar
• Alignments to the Canopic, Julian, Alexandrian, and Zoroastrian calendars
o And Mayan.?.
• Implications of a pre-dynastic beginning to the 365-day calendar
We will investigate the Sothic date of July 20, 4243 BCE in the Julian calendar (Julian Day 171868), suggesting this as the starting point of the 365-day calendar.
