Egyptian ChronologyEgyptian chronology is a very tangled subject. Uncertainties are multiple. Historians rely principally on certain documents in the form of Egyptian king lists or annals. One of these is the fragmentary Palermo Stone, presenting what are considered to be the first five “dynasties” of Egyptian history. Next, there is the Turin Papyrus, very fragmentary and giving a list of kings and their reigns from the “Old Kingdom” into the “New Kingdom”. Then there are of course additional inscriptions in stone, likewise fragmentary. These lists and other inscriptions have been put in chronological order by Manetho, an Egyptian priest of the 3th century B.C. His works, about Egyptian history and religion, arrange the reigns of the Egyptian monarchs into 30 dynasties and this pattern is also used by modern Egyptologists. They are backed up by astronomical calculations, based on Egyptian texts dealing with lunar phases and the rising of the Dog Star or So

The Runal Verses, Part TwoNauđizNeed is the greatest of all foesIt can weaken resolve, yet strengthen the soulIt is the duty of need to test and challengeIt is the duty of need to make us who we areNyðAll hardship in lifeWaxes and wanes like the moon;The drought comes, the cattle die off,The harvest flees and so does good help.NauðrTo toil until yesteryear,That is what will come of us;Until all is satisfied,The hole cannot be filled.IsazWinter has comeAnd lays out her precious jewels;Each plant is covered, decked in ice,And the sun admires her distant reflection.IsThe cold is like a wolf,Hungry and ever-present,And we pull our furs to our skinTo try and keep it away.IsaThe bane of the flesh,The biter with frosted teeth,All is captured in hardest whiteAnd Spring is far on the horizon.JēraSif has blessed usWe shall reap the plentyThe Earth gives us her approvalAs our scythes slice the stalks.GērWhether a harvest of the sea,Fish and eel bursting,Or a har
