This seems to be a rather significant finding.

It’s still amusing to me that Narmer is the name on the monuments, but later in ancient Egypt the founder was called “Menes” — a name also found (it is believed, a synchronism) in Akkadian records. Sounds like an earlier conquest of lower Egypt by the Assyrians (the Old Assyrians are called Akkadians, after their capital, to keep it straight) was actually being documented.
