One of the issues with your idea is that the Egyptians had two calendars: the civil and the common. So while the civil calendar wandered backward, the common calendar (based on the rising of Sirius) didn't really stray.

Westcar also dates to the Middle Kingdom, but Lull and Belamonte are discussing New Kingdom and Ptolemaic period.
