Resumen :	Abstract: Part 2: Dating the New Kingdom: Sothic dates, lunar dates and solar eclipse ontroversy has raged ever since the so-called Sothic date on the Ebers medical papyrus was discovered. The difficulties have been many. 1) Is the reading authentic? 2) The era and thus the identity of the pharaoh? 3) The day date; was it day 3, 6, 9, 30 or the day of the new moon? 4) Is it a copy of the civil calendar in use and why does it not mention the epagomenal days or is it a lunar calendar? 5) Is it really a Sothic date? 6) What was the first month of the year when the script was written?
