The calendar of ancient Egypt is reconstructed using the latest research into Helioplian, Memphite, regional, astronomical, Delta region and Elephantine mythologies. Its festival days, good and combative days are found in several archaeological and literary sources. The calendar is calibrated with the Heliacal rising of Sapdat (Sirius) that establishes the opening of the year (Wpat Ranapat) over the ancient Capital of Man nafr (Memphis) as it was traditionally established in the Early Dynastic period, c. 2773 b.c.e. The calendar is one of the most important facets of ancient Egyptian culture.

Har (Horus) in Kam-war (Great-black, Mnevis bull) of his years in his vary beautiful images
Mnevis, also called Menvis, Egyptian Nm-wr, Greek form of Mr-wr, a sacred bull deity worshipped at Heliopolis. As one of several sacred bulls in Egypt, he was most closely associated with the sun god Rع-Itamw (Atum-Ra). Although not attested with certainty until the Middle Kingdom (1938–c. 1630 BCE), the Mnevis bull may be that which is referenced by the phrase “bull of Heliopolis,” which occurs in the Pyramid Texts. The Mnevis bull was either black or piebald in colour, and in sculptures and paintings he was represented with a solar disc between his horns."III Parat RakaH Nadjas Day 23
