Correction to Dynasty One

Rerun of Dynasty One

I don't take associations made at Wikipedia for A 1 to A 8 or Abydos kings 1-8.

The Ethiopians or southerners took the north in a series of battles so we should see certain connections and we do. We need to reference the Demi-gods as well and we do that too in CUT chronology.

-2781 Nakehte Kalnis,son of Abd Shems

-2770 Gannkam

-2752 Hohey

-2741 Kasiyope (queen)

-2722 Sabe I

-2639 end of En-mer-kar and start of Lugal-Banda (in Mesopotamia)

-2620 GarIak II

We shall attack this by looking at each source, then Public Service (PS) and finally apply our tools. Abydos holds true for the flow in this new order.

Thirty-year sed cycles will be winkled out.

Eratosthenes. He is, of course, “all over the place” in our terms of prince A following prince B immediately etc. However, we ignore Eratosthenes at our very great peril. So we, sensibly, will not ignore Eratosthenes.

Menes -2873 to -2811

Athothis -2811 to -2752 or -2813 to -2754 (the rise of Zemti A5 or Merneith's regency)

Athothis II -2741 to -2709 or -2743 to -2711

Uennephes -2752 to -2710

Miebis -2690 to -2671

Pemphos -2664 to -2646

We should now visit anno mundi 2900, etc. The dynasty is Theban. Theban is 18^th dynasty as far as Eratosthenes is concerned. Theban is Nubian in latter 18^th/early 19^th dynasties. Makeda is the last of her line in Nubia. She ends -1209. Osorkon II can be associated with Nubia and Thebes . He ends -1207. Now anno mundi 3045 can be guessed at. Working BACKWARDS -1207-3045 = -4252. -1611 -2900 = -4511 Eus.

Points to consider re dating above;

1. Flood -3326-969 (little green book) -4295 Eus. Correction is 48 yrs - see academia.edu for an endless diatribe on this topic. -4295+48=-4247 (Talmudists). Cf. -4252 will develop later.
2. AM (real 7 days of Creation) to Adam is 1058 yrs
3. Eus. And Afr. provide two numbers 2242 and 2262 for “Adam to Flood”.
4. AM Afr. -5589 and AM Eus. -5569 reflect above divergence. By equating, in a playful way, Adam and real Creation we can discover that Adam was created in -5589 + 1058 = -4531 Afr. And -5569 + 1058 = -4511 Eus. QED.
5. -1611 is as follows; Gebel Tjauti Rock Inscription 11, 290 days drift + Heliopolitan corection which is 1day earlier / 4 degrees of Lattitude = 294. Years corresponding are counted from the DD of Demi-God Ammon's sed renewal in -2787. So -2787 +4*294 = -1611 cf. Kahun and Ebers.

The interesting question is why Eratosthenes has started Theban dynastic history at Menes not Ahmose I. Probably scene-setting.

Next cab off the rank is Africanus (Manetho's Epitome).

But first lets do a Public Service review or model.

“The succession of the first three kings of the 2nd Dynasty is found on the back of the right shoulder of the statue of a priest named Hotepdief as follows: Hotepsekhemwi, Nebre and Ninetjer.”

QED sed.

Are there any keys, daisy-chains, post-keys or follow-ons?

Djer keys the demi-god Ammon,

Iti=Kenkenes keysTeti,

Athothis (Book of Sothis) keys Edjo

Merneith post-keys Edjo

Uennephes (Book of Sothis/Eus) keys Merneith

Den daisy-chains Ammon, demi-god

One regnal count of Den keys Uennephes

A second regnal count starts with a second regnal count for Uennephes – no joy here though

Athothis II (Eratos.) follows-on Teti; ending one regnal count co-terminal with Uennephes which leads CUT to wonder whether Uenephes – a child, in -2762 of 8 years; a youth, in -2752 of 18 years – had a regent, his mother from her renewal sed, till he reached 40 yrs or command of the army stage in -2723. His majority coming in -2742 cf. -2743 he is the 're-incarnation' of the now defunct and probably dead Athothis. Sounds a bit familiar doesn't it?

Semempses keys Den's sed

Den follows-on on two regnal starts a) Uennephes - sort of - and b) Kenkenes really

Den and Uennephes 'sort of' parallel rule, -2710 to -2700, includes the end of Djer in -2705 and a five year hiatus before a regnal count for Miebis because Miebis followed-on Djer.

Miebis follows-on in -2700 Kenkenes

Den now kicks on without Uennephes till -2690 when Miebis sort of keys Semempses and Sneferka actually keys Semempses

Qa'a daisy-chains Den in -2780

Even though we can picture Kebh as keying Miebis he really doesn't start a regnal count till the end of Miebis' second repeat sed. At which time Semempses and Kebh joint-rule

Semempses seems to have set up Boethos Hotepsekhemwy as a counter to Miebis in -2757 – possibly a political or dynastic move

Horus Bird follows-on Sneferka

Banetjeru daisy-chains Qa'a

Kakau follows-on Miebis

Seth-Peribsen post-keys Horus: Bird

So what can we say in summary?

The “destruction of Egypt” of Semempses Year 1 record is the same as Boethos' “great calamity”. That is to say a huge earthquake – remember the continents have not long assumed their modern tectonic placements – at Bubastis wiped out a good portion of the populace in -2656. This placed the second dynasty at the crossroads. From -2620 dynasty one is no more but a new dynasty and a renewed Egypt are on the go starting with Boethos in -2627. The first prince born into - or who was only small at the time of Bubastis - this new world is Kakau and he assumes power in a sort of follow-on (CUT sometimes ues the term 'end-to-end') from Kebh in -2601.

The beginning of the dynasty saw the passing of the baton from the demi-gods to the dynastic era kings. We can weave, however inexpertly, nearly all the 'known' kings into our dynasty one tapestry. The prevailing notion is one of orderly but not uniform transition from king to king. The lesson of Den (regnal count - Palermo Stone fragments, The Oxford fragment - 4^th -2745, 5^th -2744, 6^th -2743, 7^th -2742; regnal count - The Cairo-Stone fragment C5 18^th -2723, 19^th -2722, 20^th -2721, 21st -2720, 22^nd -2219) shows us the multiplicity of regnal counts for one king. Mostly representing co-rules till some significant point of transition e.g. the end of a 70-year period of public service – not all as top dog.

Merneith (mother of Djet and Den) see Wiki item re two “cartouches” for Mother of King, Athothis and Uennephes definitely have the smell of another go of Osiris, Isis, Horus etc. Whether a recycle or what, we see at least the outline of a pattern of historical events that are by our Creator recycled.

We should note in connection with long reigns in TC which receive so much derision, in the literature, that Biblical patriarch contemporaries such as Heber , Peleg and Reu ruled 80 years, 52 years (-2818 to -2766) and 132 years respectively -see CUT chronology. So Djer's 84 years is WELL within the bounds of reality.

The Palermo Stone gives the following series of Kings in the view of CUT chronology. From Breasted;

First Dynasty King T = Djer (Breasted, p.57 line 92 is 6 months 7 days – in funny talk this is Peret III, day 7 cf. Wikipedia article re calendar entry (unspecifed) “death of Djer on Peret III, day 7” QED); King U = Kenkenes = Iti NB: from a DD of -3174 cf. Noah, 103 days drift brings us to -2762 the first year of a Kenkenes regnal count (Book of Sothis/Eus.); Lost kings (incl. Den = Usaphais = Zemti etc); King V = Djet (Uennephes =Ita);

Second Dynasty King Neterimu = Banetjeru = Binothris; Lost kings; King W = Chaires = Kara; King X = Djadjay.

These lead us to point out that Wikipedia on Den includes a portion of Palermo Stone 28^th...41^st year which belong to Uenephes as 28^th -2743, 29^th -2742 etc. The thirty-one years could possibly be thirty-two years. Any budding post-docs? This is also Athothis II of Eratosthenes.

The Abydos King List remains intact;

Menes -2873 to -2811

Teti -2813 to -2743

Iti -2784 to -2714

Ita -2770 to -2700

Septi (Zemti) -2749 to -2679

Meribiap -2705 to -2631

Semsu -2719 to -2647

Qebeh -2671 to -2601

Sakkhara King List is intact;

Miebis -2705 to -2631

Kourodes -2671 (-2664) to -2601

To reconcile Eus./and Armenian recension we have the following;

Eus. 297 years, and 549 from “beginning” Arm. 298 years

Dealing with 549 years. Mestraim in Book of Sothis is equated to Menes. CUT puts Mestraim/Menes at -2846. Therefore we can sum -2846 + 549 to -2297 or Tosorthros of Eus/Afr. Dynasty #3 in CUT chronology.

The 297 of Eus. is Kebh as the first Dynasty #2 king (remember Eus. is a pest of a pedant) or -2664 + 297 = -2367 or the end of Bebty, in CUT chronology, and also the end of the royal line.

The Armenian recension of Eus. has -2646 (giving the whole year -2647 to -2646 as -2646) to -2348 (-2646+298=-2348) or the end of Nebka – some regard this at the end of Dynasty #2 for whatever reason.

That's it for our revision to date for Dynasty One of Egypt.
PS It is possible that Djer is Kenkenes = Iti.  He would have started his sed regnal count with Aha = Teti = Athothis' keyed sed in -2784.  Nothing particularly stands in the way of a -2705 end as opposed to -2714.  In this way we can validate king Qa'a seal list of kings i.e.  Narmer, Aha, Djer, Djet, Den, Anedjib, Semerkhet and Qáa from Ottar Vendel's great website Ottar Vendel Sun Dec 21, 11:26AM

Amenemope

Amenemope

This lad gets shortened to -1336 to -1317 – the 6 mths is your guess.

Yr 49 Psusennes I = Yr 4 Amenemope, his son is -1332. That is Nephercheres/Ammenemnisu takes up the cudgel in a joint rule with his grandson{?} Psusennes II in -1332 This short-lived co-rule ended with Amenemnisu's PS in -1326 (see Eus) when Amenemope shared his Dyn # 18/19 throne with Dyn #21 for the next 9 years as Amenopthis of Dyn #21. Psusennes I went on to finish his PS in -1311 in a co-rule with Osochor the Elder. Of course Africanus gives Psusennes I (in CUT chronology) the years

of reign ending in -1330 and Neferkare from -1330 to -1326.

Corrections before I go.

Final accounting; I promised two more dynasties. Will do.

No interest shown in blog in its entire life. Lots of my friends “the bots” visit but no REAL people. Therefore anything by way of dynasties beyond having a crack at Emeritus Professor Kenneth Anderson Kitchen is reserved for those of the Body of Christ i.e. they are private.

Osorkon I starts a rule following Shoshenk[q] I in -1268 to Osorkon II as a PART of “three kings” in -1253. Assuming Certos in Dynasty #19 is Osorkon II he paralleled his father - on another throne - for the years -1268 to -1239 (29 years), -1268 to -1224 (44 years) and -1268 to -1248 (20 years). See Book of Sothis deltas etc. The 29 years of Certos is equivalent or equal to “the three king”'s 29 years! So -1248 for Takelot I's 10 years to Sheshonk II starts as key to Osorkon II. So Certos (O II) got bumped by Takelot I, co-ruled with Ramesses IV to his end and gave way to Dyn #19's Amenses or Ammenemes.
