Ancient Egyptian astronomy
Semed-seret belonged to the ancient Egyptian constellation Sheep , which is depicted in many coffins on the diagonal star clocks and, for example, in the tomb of Senenmut . The most conspicuous celestial body is the optical double star Algiedi in the constellation Capricorn .
In the dean lists of the Sethos script , Semed-seret on the body of the groove represented the 18th dean. The heliacal ascent was scheduled for the 26th Achet II and had as a dating basis the decree under Sesostris III. ( 12th Dynasty ) in his seventh year of reign.
Due to the extinction , Semed-seret is visible up to a horizon height of 3.5 °. The apparent rising or setting occurs about 21 to 24 minutes later or earlier than the actual rising or setting.
