EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard Gertoux

Two elements from the reign of Psusennes I (1064-1018) allow us to anchor it on a remarkable astronomical phenomenon. Firstly, this king used four personal names (Dessousseix: 2008, 432-434), which is unusual, all of which contain the same expression: “The star that appeared for the city (of Thebes)”. This expression refers to a heliacal rising of Sirius (the brightest star in the sky) which coincided with a heliacal rising of Venus (the brightest planet in the sky). Several inscriptions from Psusennes I mention this exceptional apparition of Sirius (Le Guilloux: 2010, 133,147,229,284-285). This double Heliac rising is conventionally represented by a grey heron (Venus), appearing at the beginning of the procession, whose head is surmounted by a star (Sirius).

The accession to the throne of Psusennes I took place during the 26th and last year of Smendes' reign in 1065 BCE, so it took place between August 1065 BCE and January 1064 BCE.
