About this person
The stele was probably commissioned during the Fifth Dynasty, between roughly 2498 and 2345 BCE, to catalog every pharaoh from the First Dynasty onward and mark the notable events of their reigns year by year. It tracked rulers from around 3150 BCE through the early Fifth Dynasty itself. At some point the monument broke apart; seven pieces are known today. The largest fragment ended up in Palermo, Italy, where it sits in the Regional Archeological Museum Antonio Salinas. For Egyptologists it remains a cornerstone source - the earliest written chronicle of the Old Kingdom that made it through three millennia intact.
