Description

The Alchemist’s Ledger: Between Myth and Dynasty — Egypt’s Divine Kings, Early Rulers & the Historical Record

An evidence-led investigation into the boundary between Egypt’s remembered divine kingship and its increasingly recoverable historical rulers.
The publication follows the record from divine and primordial king traditions through late predynastic rulers, Narmer, the Early Dynastic period, and into the early Old Kingdom.
It examines king lists, archaeological evidence, royal names, tombs, inscriptions, later traditions, and modern reconstruction while keeping each type of evidence clearly identified.
Includes discussion of the Turin King List, Narmer and Menes, Merneith, Peribsen, Khasekhemwy, Netjerikhet/Djoser, the Step Pyramid, and Sneferu.
Digital PDF. Historical and educational reference.
