Egyptian Civil Calendar
The Egyptians had two calendars one that started on the rising of the start Sirius or Sothis in Greek 'dogs star' correlating to the Goddess Sopdet this started the opening of the year. The other calendar was a Lunar religious calendar.
365 day Year
The Egyptians had 365 days to a year, but originally there was only 360 days. Ra had forbidden Nut to give birth to her child by Geb her brother husband on any of the 360 days of the year. So Djehuty gambled against the moon god for 5 extra days to help the Goddess Nut. The five extra days are added at the end of the year and mark the days of her Children's birthdays.
