Medinet Habu Calendar

Medinet Habu Calendar

This was the most elaborate showing of a calendar prior to the Ptolemaic Period (304-30  B.C.E.), a unique look of the Medinet Habu temple set up by Ramses III (1194-1163  B.C.E.) at Thebes. During the rule of Ramesses III the fetes rewarding the God Amun were presented at Medinet Habu. The Medinet Habu Calendar was entered  during Ramesses III's 12th regnal year. The calendar lists full of the so-addressed feasts of paradise, celebrations observing the Theban deity, Amun. Some of the fetes listed appear as newly established holidays designed to cheer the Egyptians of the era.
