Bipolarbob “The original Sunday worshippers. I violation of God’s Fourth Commandment”

Bipolarbob, Old Kingdom Egypt did not use a 7-day week. Instead, they employed a 10-day week, known as a decade or “decans,” with three such weeks making up a 30-day month.

The workweek was typically nine days long, followed by a day of rest.

Days were not named Monday–Sunday. Instead, they were often referred to by their number within the month or aligned with celestial events.

At the end of the 360-day year (12 months \(\times \) 30 days), five extra days were added to align with the solar year, celebrated as the birthdays of specific gods: Osiris, Horus, Seth, Isis, and Nephthys.

Bipolarbob, do note.
