I did a little reading (because oddly enough I am really attracted and attached to Egyptian culture and history) on Egyptian zodiac signs, I read from different sources so I am not going to link them all, but if you want to look up more, Google and books are certainly there for you.
Egyptians differentiated their zodiacal system, by assigning them differently than the ones used today.
In a classical Egyptian calendar, the months are segregated into three sub sections called âdecadesâ, each with ten different days. Ancient Egyptians created a system of decans.
Egyptians also have a very accomplished zodiacal system.
