The five extra days added to the Egyptian calendar, known as the "epagomenal days," were included to complete the 365-day solar year. These days fell outside the standard twelve months of 30 days each, totaling 360 days. The inclusion of these five days allowed the Egyptians to align their calendar with the annual solar cycle, ensuring that important agricultural and ceremonial events occurred at the correct times of the year. This adjustment reflected their advanced understanding of astronomy and the need for a practical calendar in their agricultural society.
In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar, transitioning from the lunar-based calendar to the Julian calendar. To realign the calendar with the solar year, 90 extra days were added that year, resulting in a total of 445 days for that year, which is often referred to as the "year of confusion." This significant adjustment helped establish a more accurate calendar system that later influenced the Gregorian calendar we use today.
basically. it was a little different though. instead of a leap year every four years, they added an extra month every 4 years

Pharaoh means, "Great House." In ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh had many roles in his kingdom. He watched over the law courts and was the chief of the temples. He was an army leader and controlled trade expeditions. He supervised the water system and stored the grain. Ancient Egyptians believed that each living pharaoh was a living god. They believed that each pharaoh was the human form of Horus. The pharaohs where very important to Egypt because they pleased their gods so good fortune would come to Egypt. The pharaohs believed that everyone should be treated with justice. The pharaohs were transported from place to place on a chair carried by servants. There were many items which stood for kingship. For example crowns, which were headresses with jewels, stood for "Supreme Rank." False beards, which were worn by kings and queens, symbolized royal authority. The sceptor also meant royal authority and was carried by kings and queens. The pharaohs had a daily schedule. The day went like this: first, the pharaoh would go to the temple to please and pray to their god. Next, the pharaoh would hear his daily news from his trusted vizior. Then, the pharaoh would check the architectures which were built by his servants and officials. Finally, if the pharaoh had extra leisure time, he would be entertained by his servants, or he would have a conversation with his wife.
