Context of Interval
The 365-day year was divided into 1 2 months of 30 days, plus 5 extra days at the end. Because the Egyptians did not intercalate the additional day every four years, the civil calendar lost all relation to the seasons. It takes 1460 years for the calendar to set itself right again; this interval is known as the Sothic cycle, from the Egyptian name for Sirius. Whether the Egyptians knew of the Sothic cycle is open to question.
