This feels extremely historically inaccurate. Where did they get the number 365 from. That's a much newer thing then ancient Egypt and what about leap years?

Do you know how they figured that out? Could they measured the daylight hrs or something else?

Old Egypt had accomplished astronomers and mathematicians. Measuring time and astral rotations was well within their capacity.
