Similarly, the Sothic setting mentioned in the Buto Stele dated I Shemu 30 (16 May 1448 BCE) coincided with a full moon dated a day before on I Shemu 29.

The date is indeed a setting (with sunset), not a Sothic rising (with sunrise), for the following reason: between III Shemu 28 and I Shemu 30 there are 62 days, this duration would correspond to a difference of 244 years (= 4x61) in case of Sothic dates, which is impossible for the same king. In addition, the hieroglyph representing the “rising” actually means “leave” (two legs walking surmounted by a horizontal bar “bolt”) and not “arrive”, confirming the representation (very rare) of a Sothic setting which occurs 61 days before the rising. Between the Sothic setting dated I Shemu 30 and the Sothic rising dated III Shemu 28 there was a period of invisibility of 62 days and not 70 days. This difference could be explained by the fact that this period decreased by about 1.5 day for 1° latitude southward, which implies 67 days in Buto (latitude 31.1°) and 59 days in Thebes (latitude 25.7°). This period of invisibility is different from Egyptian texts, which always indicate 70 days. This discrepancy with astronomy illustrates the role of religious Egyptian astronomy. Indeed, at that time, the period of invisibility of Sirius was about 65 days at the latitude of Buto or 63 days at the latitude of Memphis. Even assuming good observing conditions21 there was a period of 67 days at the latitude of Buto and not 70 days as Egyptian texts indicate. This period of 70 days covered in fact a symbolic period of 7 decans, the Egyptian year being covered by 36 decans, or 360 (= 12x30) days. The 28 Shemu III also belongs to the effective reign of Thutmose, after his 22 years of co-regency with Hatshepsut. In addition, the Palestine campaign which occurred from years 23 to 25 is mentioned in the Buto Stele: It is a brave king who, in the melee, made great slaughters among Asiatic coalitions. He is the one that makes rulers of Retenu's land, in their entirety, to be required to provide their tribute. Sothic dates appearing on the Buto Stele and on the Elephantine Stone likely date to year 25.
