"Early Egyptian Calendars. Again, Sir Joseph Lockyer and many others have shown that from the very earliest times the Egyptians built their pyramids primarily as a means of accurate time keeping. Having an absolutely flat and treeless horizon in a cloudless sky was the perfect environment to observe the moment of the rising sun. The pyramidion on the pyramids and on the pointed obelisk gave sharp shadows on a flat pavement to accurately track the passage of the sun and establish the time of day and the seasons. Even in those early days of history the Egyptian priest/astronomers had discovered that the year consisted of 365¼ days." http://www.creationmoments.com/resources/articles/miscellaneous/history/history-calendar So, that would be incorrect, I think.
