Abstract

The ancient Egyptians thought that there were two heavens, the 
northern sky and the southern sky, separated by a channel called 
“mr-n-xA" and they relied on the stars as timekeepers during the 
night, which they called “BAktiw". This decans measured time 
for 360 days of the year, with five days remaining to complete the 
year, known as five days upon the year “diw Hryw rnpt "where 
triangle decans are used to measure these five days.
