Question

Were in ancient Egypt's calendar the winter monts depending of Nil?

Answer 1

the Ancient Egyptians had a calendar that specified the days when it would rain, have strong cold winds , have sandstorms , etc.

we still follow this calendar .

fishermen have to consult it before they go out to sea .

it is now called the coptic calendar .

Answer 2

The season of winter was Peret.The ancient Egyptian civil calender consisted of 3 seasons, beginning with the season of Ahket, the time of the Niles annual inundation.

This occurred in early June coinciding with the helical rising of the star Sothis or Sirius as we know it today.

Then came the season of Peret the time of growth.

Followed by Shemu, which was summer and the time of the harvest.

So the 3 seasons Akhet, Peret and Shemu were made up the equivalent of four months each, according to the calender we use today.

Each of their "months" was made up by 3 "lots" of 10 days making the Sothic year 365 days long..

A reformed version of the ancient Egyptian calender is still used by the Coptic Church and some farming communities because if its closeness to the agricultural year.

For civic uses especially anually celebrated events it proved to be found quite confusing. For the helical rising of Sothis or Sirius only occurs at the same point every 1460 years,which gradually put annually celebrated events totally out of season.

It was primarily for this reason it is no longer used by the general community.
