was, until lately, in the year 1900 B.

with confidence to 3014 B. Q. 1t is
we'll known that the Egyptian priests
paid much attention to the Sothic Pc
riod, or the interval of many centuries
that elapse between the occasions
when the star Sirius and the sun rise
together. Several months since, an

found statement that in the seventh
year of the reign of Menkeres, Sirius
rose with the sun. 1t is known that
he reigned long before the time Of
Moses. Astronomical calculations put
the first heliacal rising of Sirius be-
fore Moses in 3OO7 B. G.; 50 his reign
begun in 3O14 B. g. This Menkeres
built one of the pyramids of Gizath--
his name is recorded On it as the bull

latest of the pyramids at that place.
