The Cairo Calendar is a Nineteenth Dynasty Egyp- tian almanac that lists religious feasts, mythological incidents, favorable or adverse days, forecasts, and warnings. The 365 passages that make up Book II of the Cairo Calendar include 46 references to the proof deities and mythological beings. This term is most often translated going forth. The dates for three Cairo Calendar passages announcing the prof the goddess Neith are dates of astronomical events in- volving the bright star Canopus (alpha Carinae), and the passages make sense when read as astronomical observations. The Calendar lists two or more pr for 11 other deities or mythological figures, and based on this information the celestial objects can be iden- tified.
