The Egyptian calendar was based on the Sun. It consisted of twelve months of thirty days each and then five (or six) additional intercalculary days to make the calendar match the movement of the sun. These last five days were also considered unlucky and no business was conducted and no projects were started.

In our calendar these would correspond to the last five days of the year, I presume.
On August 2 a number of years ago, I broke my leg in a bicycle accident. Frequently in the past I have had bad luck occur on August 2 or around the beginning of August. I was telling a friend that I thought August 2 was a "bad luck" day for me and she had never heard of such a thing. Later that same day I discovered the tradition of "Egyptian Days." A curious coincidence...
