Palermo Stone,

partial record of King Den of the first dynasty, ca 2950 BC.

The text reads from right to left; each block is introduced with a 'year glyph,' the curved line at the right edge of each year's record.

The lower register records the height of the Nile at flood time.

A few hieroglyphs stand for whole words; the rest represent sounds.



(1) Striking the bedouin.

(2) Appearance of the power (king) of Upper and Lower Egypt; Sed festival.

(3) Counting of the people (of the four directions).

(4) Second feast of Djet.

(5) Plan of a temple called "Thrones of the Gods," feast of Sokar.
