Rerun of Dynasty One
This short paper looks at all sources, including archaeology, and
reconciles all. CUT chronology is the basis for all dating. The start
for Menes is obtained from clearing-uptimes.blogspot.com.au.
The tectonic connections are treated in various papers – some at
academia.edu.
Its a short ride, relies on an understanding of CUT charting
techniques (see academia.edu) and is insufferably notey or not proper
prose.
I
don't take associations made at Wikipedia for A 1 to A 8 or Abydos
kings 1-8 for granted.
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.

We
shall attack this issue of the First Dynasty by looking at extant
sources, then CUT's Public Service (PS) reconstruction and finally
apply our CUT-charting tools. The Abydos king list holds true for
the flow in this new order and is most comforting in this respect.
Thirty-year
sed cycles will be winkled out.
Eratosthenes.
He
is, of course, “all over the place” in our terms I.e. 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

rise of Zemti A5 or Merneith's regency)

We
should now visit anno
mundi 2900, etc. The dynasty is Theban. Theban is 18th
dynasty as far as Eratosthenes is concerned. Theban is Nubian in
latter 18th/early 19th 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, never a
good idea, we can build the following equations
-1207-3045
= -4252.
-1611
-2900 = -4511 Eus.
Points
to consider re dating above;
Flood
-3326-969 (little green book-Loeb Classic Series) -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.
AM
(real 7 days of Creation) to Adam is 1058 yrs
Eus.
And Afr. provide two numbers 2242 and 2262 for “Adam to Flood”.
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.
-1611
is as follows; Gebel Tjauti Rock Inscription
11, 290 days drift + Heliopolitan corection which is 1 day
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.
6. Djer is said to have a heliacal rising; Wikipedia; lets try -2787 or Year 1 or 1 following an accession year of Djer and see it looks good.
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).

Are there any keys, daisy-chains, post-keys or
follow-ons (end-to-ends)?
Djer

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 47 yrs 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, at this time (orbital see
Setterfield), have not long assumed their almost 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 -
4th -2745, 5th -2744, 6th -2743, 7th
-2742; regnal count - The
Cairo-Stone fragment C5
18th
-2723,
19th
-2722,
20th
-2721,
21st -2720, 22nd
-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, vol I, 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 28th...41st year which belong to
Uenephes as 28th -2743, 29th -2742 etc. The
thirty-one years could possibly be thirty-two years. NB a
small research opportunity exists to find Year 32. This is
also Athothis II of Eratosthenes.
Missing Years?
The
Abydos King List remains intact, in the sense of there are no years
'missing' from the start year of first king to the end date of the
last king;
Menes
-2873 to -2811
Teti
-2813 to -2743
Iti
-2784 to -2714
Ita
-2770 to -2700

-2705 to -2631
Semsu

Qebeh
-2671 to -2601
Sakkhara
King List is intact, in the sense of there are no years 'missing'
from the start year of first king to the end date of the last king;
Miebis
-2705 to -2631
Kourodes
-2671 (-2664) to -2601
End of Dynasty One /Start of Dynasty Two
Controversy
To
reconcile Eus./and Armenian recension we have the following;
Eus.
297 years, and 549 from “beginning” Arm. 297 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. OR, we
can sum as follows; -2873 + 549 = -2324. This works if Gosiormes /
Hotepsekhemwy has a PS of -2394 to -2324 as opposed to -2395 to
-2325. This is actually a 'better' PS in this model. In other words
Eus. Confirms Afr. - maybe for the first time!!
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.
A Rerun of Dynasty Two
We should note that there is little
consistency as to whether the regnal count at a key is from the key
or post-key year e.g. Nubnefer keys Banetjeru in -2581/-2580 – his
Year 30. He could start a regnal count in -2580 i.e. Year 1 of this
regnal count is -2581/-2580 OR he could start in -2579 i.e.
Year 1 of this regnal count is -2580/-2579. If he takes the first
option then his sed year is -2552/-2551. Tlas is set down as a key
to Nubnefer ie his Public Service (PS) runs -2552 to -2482 (assuming
as CUT has a model PS). The Palermo Stone material for Banetjeru has
a 7th year entry in -2581/-2580 and a 8th year
entry in -2580/-2579. In other words Banetjeru has a parallel or
Joint rule with Nubnefer. However the 36th to 44th
year is a standard regnal count for Banetjeru from his sed
-2580/-2579. The 36th Year coincidentally corresponds to
the first Year of Weneg – assuming he is not Tlas.
Another way of illustrating this
principle is with Horus: Bird (CUT) -2621 daisy-chains Sneferka (CUT)
-2690 to -2620. In -2589 Seth-Peribsen (CUT) post-keys Bird. Thus
Bird, in this model, would have started a regnal count in -2619 or he
opted to post-key Seket's (-2650 to -2580) sed. Remember Seket in
this model would have keyed Ka'a and may have started a regnal count
in -2649. We should note that Baunetjer's 95 years were somewhat of
an extra beyond Year 70. In other words Banetjeru's first Palermo
Stone regnal count started (-2587) in an end-to-end anticipation
of his retirement – but it didn't happen!
We can take a further look at the
predictive value of the model. When the end of Banetjeru comes in
-2515 then Sesthenes comes to light He rules 70 yrs (end-to-end) from
-2515 to -2445. Stoichos of Eratosthenes is our confounding element.
He rules, in an end-to-end from Tlas (-2552 to -2482), from -2482 to
-2412 thus providing a daisy-chain to Neferkasokar in -2413 – an
IMPORTANT date or DD. Senedj has a regnal count from -2482. The
problem with this arrangement is that it does not lead to a
-2873+555= -2318 end of Dynasty One and Two. My conclusion is 555 it
is just a check-digit.
From Kim Ryholt, p.7 of 21, “The
Turin King-List”, academia.edu, Dec 25, 2014; 3:48 am we have
...

Operating
on the basis of the Exodus year (-1580 to -1579) for CUT chronology
purposes we can have the following material to digest or throw-up.
From
-1580 backwards according to 1st-5th
Dynasties (4.26) total
i.e. by 768 years we
come to -2348 the SECOND AXIS tilt. By
going forward to Ist-8th
Dynasties (5.15-17) total
we arrive at -1393 cf.
Harmessus Miamum. By going
backwards from -1393 according
to 6th-8th
Dynasties (5.14-15) i.e.
by 187 years we come
to -1580. To conclude then
Dynasty 1-5 ends at Exodus and Dynasty 6-8 starts at Exodus.
CUT
is in error on this point. Africanus
gives 146 years for Dynasty #6 i.e. -1625
to -1479.
That's
it for our revision to date for Dynasty One of Egypt.
Post-Script
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.
