I think it means that the account comes from the time of the first king, but I'm not so sure...I'll wait for one of the teachers to reply to this as I am puzzled too!

Jumanah"The account goes back as far as the first king"
Account here means a written record, or an epic (verbal) story that has been handed down, father to son, over generations.
It is a historical account from the first king to the present day.

Thank you! Can the sentence be rephrased as - The account goes back to the first king. Would this sentence mean the same as the original one?

No. Your version implies a solid unbroken, continuous account.
The original implies that the earliest records were fragmentary and incomplete.
