Hi Ants,

I don't really think in dynasties. Using dynasties is a fake classification, which the AEs never use, as you well know. As to being end of the 5th or beginning of the 6th, well.... the difference is one year, isn't it? Or for example, mid 4th to beginning of 5th is only 50 years i.e. one generation only.

I don't put as much importance to the -Ra suffix, really. It seems to me to be more of a political thing than a true change in the beliefs i.e. it may reflect more the nature of kingship itself changing. Had the beliefs changed, the certainly we would see that on the Palermo Stone, eh?
