Festival of the Dead: Sunset Celebration

[Darkhawk]

I don't recall there being an ancestor festival with that title at least on a Kemetic calendar.

Nothing by that name in Temple Festival Calendars of Ancient Egypt, for what that's worth. I'm not even finding much in the way of specific ancestor festivals around this time of year, now I've gone through my notes quickly.

It's all consistent with the date, I just can't find any information on it at all.

That just means that they are all ripping off from the same source translating calendar-to-Gregorian date. Remember, the Egyptian calendar does not have an "August", and where in the summer the new year falls depends on how people choose to do the calculation.

Following a hunch, I checked another reference, and you appear to be dealing with stuff ripped off of the calendar used by the Church of the Eternal Source. I don't know either what ancient sources they use or how they calculated their numbers, but at least the reference I have gives Egyptian dates so I can figure out what the everliving hell the question is.

1 Akhet 17 is Wag Festival Eve. So look for information about the Wag Festival.

Oh, ye Gods. Wow.

At least that helps us with the question now.

Ok, thank you. I was so confused. D:
