Later they used the more precise system of reckoning according to regnal years, such as "the twelfth year of Sesos-tris III." In the absence of complete king lists, it is impossible to establish an exact chronology. Partial lists have been found: the Turin Papyrus (about 1200 B.C.); the Palermo Stone (about 2600 B.C.); the royal lists of Abydos, Karnak, and Sakkara; and the Aegyptiaca of Manetho, an Egyptian high priest who about 280 B. c. wrote a history of Egypt in Greek from earliest times to 323 B. c.
The early Kish and Uruk (Erech) dynasties of the king lists are now referred to the first half of the 3d millennium B. c., a period called Early Dynastic. The king lists become more reliable with the 1st dynasty of Ur, beginning with the reign of Mes-anne-pada (about 2525 B. c.). This is the dynasty of the Royal Tombs of Ur and is said to have lasted 177 years. It ruled over most of Babylonia. The next ruler to enjoy wide hegemony was Lugal-zaggisi (about 2289—2264). He was defeated by Sargon I, an Akkadian, about 2264. Sargon ruled at Agade (about 2277-2221).
