The Accounting of Hours is a series of prophecies given to the people of Amonkhet by Nicol Bolas and featured in the flavor text of the Amonkhet block.[1]

The text prophesies the coming of the God-Pharaoh. According to the first prophecy, the Gate to the Afterlife would open when the Second Sun sat entirely between the horns on the horizon, revealing the promise of the God-Pharaoh.[2]
