Egyptian New Year


Egyptian New Year
The first is from Thoth (Tut) from the year 6262
It is the date of the introduction of the solar calendar for the first time in Egypt.
Corresponding to Friday, September 11, 2020 AD.
6262 years ago, the work of the lunar calendar, which the Egyptians discovered after they finished relying on the royal annals in the calendar (the years of the reign of kings), ended and the solar calendar began to work after many studies reported the link between the agricultural cycle and the stars, the most important of which is the sun, of course.
The Egyptian New Year is the most important holiday in Egypt, Day 1 of Tut is the date of the completion of the flood (Nai-Jara) of the Nile River, the lifeblood of the Egyptians, and it is the first day of the new agricultural year ....
Also 1 of Tut is the day of the appearance of Cereso (later known as the right-wing Sirius) ....
As for the sources and texts that confirm this, they are included in the pictures as follows:
First: Astronomical map of the Ramesseum Temple in Luxor.
Second: the zodiac astrological circle in the temple of Hathor (Hator) in the Louvre Museum.
Thus, the Egyptians discovered the most accurate and oldest solar calendar known to mankind and were the first to discover the lunar calendar as well, and it remained applicable to the solar calendar in Rome and Europe, until the reign of Pope Gregory III who modified it and introduced the Gregorian calendar.
The Egyptians discovered that the solar calendar, which is the rotation of the earth around the sun, takes place in 365 days, five hours, and a few minutes (the concept of a quarter day). Scientists have agreed to add a day every 4 years (the well-known concept of a leap year), which is in force until now in the Gregorian year.
The year was divided into 12 months:
Tut - Babah - Hatour - Kahik - Tuba - Amshir - Baramhat - Bermouda - Bashans - Buona - Abib - Misri.
As for the celebrations, they were majestic and worked to spread the spirit of love and peace among the Egyptian community, as the Egyptian was keen on this day to settle any disputes amicably, and he was keen on the beginning of the New Year without quarrels and disputes, so the disputants were racing which one would start with reconciliation ......
Good is stronger than evil, and love drives away hostility.
(The Exodus to the Day Book)
And there was another phenomenon, which was the marriage contract and the celebration of marriage on New Year's Day, to increase the joy and celebration ...
As for foods, of course cake is a main meal, and grape juice is also.

Who Was Tutankhamun


 

Stuart Cheese, may be the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours but his partner’s love of Tutankhamun was what got him into the business in the first place. Let us see how much he has picked up from her and see how much can be understood about the young king, Known to the world for his stunning death mask.

Well who Tutankhamun is, is still one of the biggest enigmas of all times. According to an inscription found at the temple of Soleb on a red granite lion, Amenhotep III is supposedly his father. This seems unlikely however, as Akhenaten, Tut’s predecessor reigned for roughly 16 years and Tutankhamun was approximately 9 years old when he became king.
 




It is believed by some that Amenhotep III is more likely to be his grandfather and that Akhenaten was his father.

This however brings up another question as Nefertiti, Akhenaten’s chief wife, was always depicted in the paintings to be accompanied by daughters and never a son.

This has also led to the speculation that his mother must have been another queen in the court, the most prominent one being a lady called Kiya. There appears to be evidence that she was married to Akhenaten as one of her titles. “Greatly beloved wife” testifies.


We do not know Tutankhamun’s exact place in the sequence of king’s as his name was omitted from the classic king’s list of Abydos and Karnak.

The items that were found in his tomb are relics that date back to his life at the Aten court.

We do know for sure that Tutankhamun was young when he died and evidence to this shows on some clay seals on wine jars that were laid in his tomb. These seals recorded the vineyard, type of the wine and also the name of the chief vinter.

It also records the year in which the king reigned. The latest date recorded on these seals was year 9 which suggests that this was the year that he died.

Tutankhamun’s mummy gave no clues as to how he met his death. It was believed that he died of consumption but there is no evidence of this.



In their endeavour to uncover the mystery of how the young king did die experts have undertaken autopsies and taken x-rays which have located a tiny sliver of bone in his skull. This has caused some to believe that Tutankhamun may have been deliberately struck meaning that he may have been a murder victim or that he may have suffered a fatal accident. To this date there is no hard evidence to prove either.

Everything I have written so far tells us nothing factual about the most famous young king. All that we really know is that Howard Carter discovered his burial tomb in 1922 and the contents of that burial chamber have immortalised King Tutankhamun and made him an enigma to the rest of the world.

The Ancient Egyptians went to an enormous amount of effort to make sure that the young man was well prepared for the next life and although he is not here with us physically in the twenty first century, he is most certainly very present in all of our lives. Everyone knows who is even though we know very little about him and it would appear that he has certainly achieved immortality.
