5. Calender

6. The ancient Egyptian calendar was invented over 5000 years ago. It was originally based on the cycle of 12 months. Egyptians grouped into three seasons of four months each to the rise and fall of the waters of the Nile. Although the flooding of the Nile began each year around the end of June. The floods occurred within a range of 80 days and were not accurate enough to base a calendar on. So the ancient Egyptians based the year on the cycle of its reappearance.
