From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Thout (Coptic: Ⲑⲱⲟⲩⲧ, IPA: [tʰoːuːt]), also known as Tout, is the first month of the Coptic calendar. It lies between 11 September and 10 October of the Gregorian calendar. The month of Thout is also the first month of the Season of Akhet (Inundation) in Ancient Egypt, when the Nile floods historically covered the land of Egypt; it has not done so since the construction of the High Dam at Aswan.

The name of the month comes from Thoth, the Ancient Egyptian God of Wisdom.
