Author Description

The Complete Egyptian Religious Calendar for the year 2025: the most comprehensive publication of the lists of the festivities of the Egyptian Religious Tradition (dated for the year 2025). A practical application of the Egyptian Religious Calendar for the current age. What's new in this edition: in this edition you will find, for the first time, the list of the daily Hathor-Goddesses from the architraves of the First Hypostyle Hall, also known as the Outer Hypostyle Hall, of the Temple of Horus at Edfu. Moreover, I have completely revised the notes, adding in particular geographical information on all places mentioned, and on their Egyptian pronunciation preserved in Coptic: while in the previous edition there were just over forty notes, now they are more than three hundred.
