Ta-abet (also Tabet, Tebet ; Greek Tybi ; Coptic Tobi ; Arabic Touba ) as the month of Min in the Egyptian calendar was the ancient Egyptian name of the first peret month and represented the season from the beginning of November to the beginning of December .
Alan Gardiner as well as Richard Anthony Parker suspect that the month Schef-bedet changed the year form in the course of the calendar history, which is why Schef-bedet shifted from the sixth to the fifth month and was renamed Ta-abet from the 19th dynasty in the New Kingdom .
The reason for this was the link between Sopdet and the heliacal rise of Sirius , which lasted until the end of the second millennium BC. Chr. Slowly migrated from the beginning of June to the beginning of July and was ultimately jointly responsible for the shifting of the months.
