Primus Pilus Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The historical importance of the Palermo Stone has long been overshadowed by the famous Rosetta Stone, but Jill Kamil says it is now being reconsidered as a legitimate historical record of ancient Egypt The so-called Palermo Stone is the largest and best preserved fragment of a rectangular slab of basalt known as the Royal Annals of ancient Egypt's Old Kingdom. Its origin is unknown, but it may have come from a temple or another important building.... Al-Ahram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar CXXXVII Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 "Now, however, we know the truth at last, because archaeologists have identified as many as 15 predynastic kings listed on the Palermo Stone. They were real. They existed." So they have the stone for some 150 years and just now they managed to read what was writen on it ? (a question not a criticism) . 15 predynastic kings is realy amazing because until now (recent years) we have only these kings from dynasty 0 - Naqada III period - "Scorpion", Ka, "king A", "king B", "Crocodile", Iry-Hor and maybe Narmer (who is considered as 1st Dynasty King) . It is realy great news . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
