The
Palermo Stone is one of seven surviving fragments of a
stele known as the Royal Annals of the
Old Kingdom of
Ancient Egypt. The stele contained a list of the kings of Egypt from the
First Dynasty through to the early part of the
Fifth Dynasty and noted significant events in each year of their reigns. It was probably made during the
Fifth Dynasty (approx 2392–2283 BCE). The Palermo Stone is held in the Antonio Salinas Regional Archaeological Museum in the city of
Palermo,
Italy, from which it derives its name.
