A strong indicator of the correctness of our previous calendric interpretations relating to Narmer and Khasekhemwy is the so-called "Chronology Tablet" (Jahrestafel) of Narmer.[62]

The portrayed "deceased" represents the bygone years. Narmer is heaven’s pole, accompanied by important constellations. The @-shaped signs meant 60 rather than 100 in early Egypt, so 180 years have elapsed prior to Narmer [and the arrival of the followers of Horus in Egypt], giving us the year ca. 3300 B.C. for Dynasty 0, which corresponds well to the archaeological findings.
