I am currently working on the Macedonian calendar section of the Ptolemaic Chronology pages. I have been researching this problem since 2004. It is a very complex topic with aspects that extend far beyond Egypt. The research is now sufficiently complete that I have written a rather long paper about it, which I hope will be published in 2009. The next task is to derive a set of pages which can be incorporated in the site. This will be my main focus over the next few months, but hopefully will still be completed in 2008.
Recently added material which may be of interest includes:
The childhood of a Ptolemaic prince, probably Ptolemy III, on the island of Thera
- The date of the festival of the Ptolemaieia and its relevance to the Macedonian regnal year of Ptolemy I
- The year of the first Ptolemaieia and its relevance to the death date of Berenice I
The next planned area of work, for 2009, is the genealogy of the Egyptian pharoahs of the Late Period -- dynasties 26-31.
