| Summary: | Posener-Kriéger who recognized two lunar dates in the Neferirkare archive limited her analysis to relative chronology. There are two possibilities: either both lunar dates fell in the reign of of Asosi, or one in Asosi‘s reign, and the other in a year of Unas. In the present article the possible absolute years for the two lunar dates are computed, together with extrapolated lunar dates, both under the assumption that at the time there was a regular succession of years with and without a census. The resulting chronology is an alternative to Gautschy’s model which she based on Nolan’s hypothesis that years after the census were counted when a thirteenth lunar month had to be taken into consideration. |
