Tabekenamun ( Tabakenamun ) was a Nubian queen dated to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt . Tabekenamun was a daughter of King Piye and may have been a queen consort to her brother Taharqa . She is known from Cairo Statue 49157 from Karnak . Others have suggested Tabekenamun was the wife of Shabaka . She was a King 's Daughter , King 's Sister and King 's Wife . In addition , she was a priestess of Hathor , Mistress of Tepihu ( Aphroditopolis ) and a priestess of Hathor of Iunyt ( Dendera ) as well as a priestess of Neith . The priestly offices could suggest she was a daughter of one of the Libyan Pharaohs .
Piye ( once transliterated as Piankhi ; d. 714 BC ) was an ancient Kushite king and founder of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt who ruled Egypt from 744-714 BC . He ruled from the city of Napata , located deep in Nubia , modern-day Sudan .
Taharqa , also spelled Taharka or Taharqo ( Hebrew : תִּרְהָקָה , Modern : Tirhaqa , Tiberian : Tirehāqā , Manetho 's Tarakos , Strabo 's Tearco ) , was a pharaoh of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt and qore ( king ) of the Kingdom of Kush ( present day Sudan ) .
Neferkare Shabaka ( or Shabako ) was the third Kushite pharaoh of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt , who reigned from 705-690 BC .
Tabiry was a Nubian queen dated to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt .
Alara was a King of Kush who is generally regarded as the founder of the Napatan royal dynasty by his 25th Dynasty Nubian successors and was the first recorded prince of Nubia . He unified all of Upper Nubia from Meroë to the Third Cataract and is possibly attested at the Temple of Amun at Kawa . Alara also established Napata as the religious capital of Nubia . Alara himself was not a 25th dynasty Nubian king since he never controlled any region of Egypt during his reign compared to his two immediate successors : Kashta and Piye respectively . Nubian literature credits him with a substantial reign since future Nubian kings requested that they might enjoy a reign as long as Alara 's . His memory was also central to the origin myth of the Kushite kingdom , which was embellished with new elements over time . Alara was a deeply revered figure in Nubian culture and the first Nubian king whose name came down to scholars .
Tadibast ( or Tadibastet ) III was an ancient Egyptian queen consort during the late Third Intermediate Period , around the second half of the 8th century BCE .
Usermaatre Osorkon IV was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh during the late Third Intermediate Period . Traditionally considered the very last king of the 22nd Dynasty , he was de facto little more than ruler in Tanis and Bubastis , in Lower Egypt . He is generally - though not universally - identified with the King Shilkanni mentioned by Assyrian sources , and with the biblical So , King of Egypt mentioned in the second Books of Kings . Osorkon ruled during one of the most chaotic and politically fragmented periods of ancient Egypt , in which the Nile Delta was dotted with small Libyan kingdoms and principalities and Meshwesh dominions ; as the last heir of the Tanite rulers , he inherited the easternmost parts of these kingdoms , the most involved in all the political and military upheavals that soon would afflict the Near East . During his reign , he had to face the power , and ultimately submit himself - to the Kushite King Piye during Piye 's conquest of Egypt . Osorkon IV also had to deal with the threatening Neo-Assyrian Empire outside his eastern borders .
Aakheperre Shoshenq V was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the late 22nd Dynasty . Despite having enjoyed one of the longest reigns of the entire dynasty - 38 years - and having left a fair amount of attestations , little is known about Shoshenq 's life . His realm underwent an unstoppable shrinking due to the progressive increase of independence of various tribal chiefs , princes and concurrent kings , above all the pharaoh-to-be Tefnakht .
Tadukhipa , in the Hurrian language Tadu-Hepa , was the daughter of Tushratta , king of Mitanni ( reigned ca . 1382 BC-1342 BC ) and his queen Juni , and niece of Artashumara . Tadukhipa 's aunt Gilukhipa ( sister of Tushratta ) had married Pharaoh Amenhotep III in his 10th regnal year . Tadukhipa was to marry Amenhotep III more than two decades later .
Tushratta ( Sanskrit Tveṣa-ratha , his chariot charges ) was a king of Mitanni at the end of the reign of Amenhotep III and throughout the reign of Akhenaten - approximately the late 14th century BC . He was the son of Shuttarna II . His sister Gilukhipa and his daughter Tadukhipa were married to the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III ; Tadukhipa later married Akhenaten who took over his father 's royal harem . He had been placed on the throne after the murder of his brother Artashumara . He was probably quite young at the time and was destined to serve as a figurehead only . But he managed to dispose of the murderer .
Amenhotep III ( Hellenized as Amenophis III ; Egyptian Amāna-Ḥātpa ; meaning Amun is Satisfied ) , also known as Amenhotep the Magnificent , was the ninth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty . According to different authors , he ruled Egypt from June 1386 to 1349 BC , or from June 1388 BC to December 1351 BC/1350 BC , after his father Thutmose IV died . Amenhotep III was Thutmose 's son by a minor wife , Mutemwiya . His reign was a period of unprecedented prosperity and splendour , when Egypt reached the peak of its artistic and international power . When he died in the 38th or 39th year of his reign , his son initially ruled as Amenhotep IV , but then changed his own royal name to Akhenaten .
Akhenaten ( /ˌækəˈnɑːtən/ ; also spelled Echnaton , Akhenaton , Ikhnaton , and Khuenaten ; meaning Effective for Aten ) , known before the fifth year of his reign as Amenhotep IV ( sometimes given its Greek form , Amenophis IV , and meaning Amun Is Satisfied ) , was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty , who ruled for 17 years and died perhaps in 1336 BC or 1334 BC . He is noted for abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism and introducing worship centered on the Aten ( notably instead of Amun , the temples of which he destroyed , the name of whom he rubbed off and the priests of whom he left without resources ) , which is sometimes described as monolatristic , henotheistic , or even quasi-monotheistic . An early inscription likens the Aten to the sun as compared to stars , and later official language avoids calling the Aten a god , giving the solar deity a status above mere gods . Akhenaten tried to shift his culture from Egypt 's traditional religion , but the shifts were not widely accepted . After his death , his monuments were dismantled and hidden , his statues were destroyed , and his name excluded from the king lists . Traditional religious practice was gradually restored , and when some dozen years later rulers without clear rights of succession from the 18th Dynasty founded a new dynasty , they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors , referring to Akhenaten himself as the enemy or that criminal in archival records . The stele of Merneptah values Amun who is represented giving the cemetery of victory to him , and is written on the back of a stele of Akhenaten stolen from one of his temples in Karnak . He was all but lost from history until the discovery during the 19th century of the site of Akhetaten , the city he built and designed for the worship of Aten , at Amarna . Early excavations at Amarna by Flinders Petrie sparked interest in the enigmatic pharaoh , and a mummy found in the tomb KV55 , which was unearthed in 1907 in a dig led by Edward R. Ayrton , is likely that of Akhenaten . DNA analysis has determined that the man buried in KV55 is the father of King Tutankhamun , but its identification as Akhenaten has been questioned . Modern interest in Akhenaten and his queen Nefertiti comes partly from his connection with Tutankhamun ( even though Tutankhamun 's mother was not Nefertiti , but a woman named by archaeologists The Younger Lady ) , partly from the unique style and high quality of the pictorial arts he patronized , and partly from ongoing interest in the religion he attempted to establish .
Takahatenamun ( Takahatamun , Takhahatamani ) was a Nubian queen dated to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt . Takahat ( en ) amun was the daughter of King Piye and the sister-wife of King Taharqa . She held several titles : Noble Lady ( iryt p't ) , Great of Praises ( wrt hzwt ) , King 's Wife ( hmt niswt ) , Lady of All Women ( hnwt hmwt nbwt ) , and King 's Sister ( snt niswt ) . Takahat ( en ) amun is known from a temple scene of the temple of Mut in Gebel Barkal where she is shown standing behind Taharqa who is offering to Amun-Re and Mut . George Andrew Reisner proposed that Takatamun might have been buried in Nuri in Tomb 21 . The tomb is dated , however , to the time of King Senkamanisken , meaning that the queen would have had to have died in her seventies or later if she were buried there .
Hedjkheperre Setepenre Takelot I was an ancient Libyan ruler who was pharaoh during the Twenty-second Dynasty of Egypt .
Sekhemkheperre Osorkon I was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the 22nd Dynasty . Osorkon 's territory included much of the Levant ; the Osorkon Bust found at Byblos is one of the five Byblian royal inscriptions .
Tashedkhons ( u ) was a wife of Pharaoh Osorkon I and the mother of Pharaoh Takelot I . She is known from the Pasenhor stela . Tashedkhonsu is given the title God 's Mother on the stela . A shabti inscribed for Tashedkhonsu was found in the tomb of Takelot II who was a distant descendant .
Kapes was a wife of Pharaoh Takelot I and the mother of Pharaoh Osorkon II . Kapes is mentioned on the Pasenhor stela found in the Serapeum of Saqqara . On the stela she has the title of God 's mother . Kapes is also known from her son Osorkon II 's tomb in Tanis . No further titles are mentioned for Kapes in her son 's tomb . A lamentation text in her son 's tomb end with the line ir n.f K3pws which translates to Kapus did ( or made ) this for him .
Usermaatre Setepenamun Osorkon II was the fifth king of the Twenty-second Dynasty of Ancient Egypt and the son of King Takelot I and Queen Kapes . He ruled Egypt from approximately 872 BC to 837 BC from Tanis , the capital of that dynasty . After succeeding his father , Osorkon II was faced with the competing rule of his cousin , King Harsiese A , who controlled both Thebes and the Western Oasis of Egypt . Potentially , Harsiese 's kingship could have posed a serious challenge to the authority of Osorkon , however , when Harsiese died in 860 BC , Osorkon II acted to ensure that no king would replace Harsiese . He appointed his son , Nimlot C , as the high priest of Amun at Thebes , which would have been the source for a successor to Harsiese . This consolidated the king 's authority over Upper Egypt and thereafter , Osorkon II ruled over a united Egypt . Osorkon II 's reign would be a time of prosperity for Egypt and large-scale monumental building ensued .
Hedjkheperre Setepenre Takelot II Si-Ese was a pharaoh of the Twenty-third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt in Middle and Upper Egypt . He has been identified as the High Priest of Amun Takelot F , son of the High Priest of Amun Nimlot C at Thebes and , thus , the son of Nimlot C and grandson of king Osorkon II according to the latest academic research . Based on two lunar dates belonging to Takelot II , this Upper Egyptian pharaoh is today believed to have ascended to the throne of a divided Egypt in either 845 BC or 834 BC . Most Egyptologists today , including Aidan Dodson , Gerard Broekman , Jürgen von Beckerath , M.A . Leahy and Karl Jansen-Winkeln , also accept David Aston 's hypothesis that Shoshenq III was Osorkon II 's actual successor at Tanis , rather than Takelot II . As Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton write in their comprehensive book on the royal families of Ancient Egypt :
Usimare Setepenamun Takelot III Si-Ese ( reigned 774-759 BC ) was Osorkon III 's eldest son and successor . Takelot III ruled the first five years of his reign in a coregency with his father , according to the evidence from Nile Quay Text No.14 ( which equates Year 28 of Osorkon III to Year 5 of Takelot III ) , and succeeded his father as king the following year . He served previously as the High Priest of Amun at Thebes . He was previously thought to have ruled Egypt for only 7 years until his 13th Year was found on a stela from Ahmeida in the Dakhla Oasis in 2005 .
Usermaatre Setepenamun Osorkon III Si-Ese was Pharaoh of Egypt in the 8th Century BC . He is the same person as the Crown Prince and High Priest of Amun Osorkon B , son of Takelot II by his Great Royal Wife Karomama II . Prince Osorkon B is best attested by his Chronicle - which consists of a series of texts documenting his activities at Thebes - on the Bubastite Portal at Karnak . He later reigned as king Osorkon III in Upper Egypt for twenty-eight years after defeating the rival forces of Pedubast I/Shoshenq VI who had apparently resisted the authority of his father here . Osorkon ruled the last five years of his reign in coregency with his son , Takelot III , according to Karnak Nile Level Text No . 13 . Osorkon III 's formal titulary was long and elaborate : Usermaatre Setepenamun , Osorkon Si-Ese Meryamun , Netjer-Heqa-waset .
Takhat was an ancient Egyptian princess and queen of the 19th dynasty , the mother of Twosret and the usurper pharaoh Amenmesse . There are not many facts known about her other than that she was Amenmesse 's mother . She bore the titles King 's Daughter and King 's Wife . She might have been identical with Takhat , a daughter of Ramesses II , who is mentioned on a Louvre ostracon . Thus she was the aunt of Seti II , but since she was among the youngest children of Ramesses , it is very likely that she was the same age or even younger than Seti II who was the grandson of Ramesses . It is also possible that she was a grandchild of Ramesses ; there are several examples of granddaughters bearing the title King 's Daughter , although it was not very common . The king she married was either Merenptah or Seti II . She is shown on several statues of Amenmesse , among them on two statues in the Karnak temple . On one of these , which still stands in Karnak , she is called King 's Daughter , King 's Wife ( Takhat ) and the word wife replaced the original mother . According to Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton , the title was recarved when Seti , the rightful heir regained the throne and usurped the statue , and that it proves either that Takhat married Seti when he became pharaoh , or that they had been married before , which means Amenmesse was Seti 's son and usurped the throne from his own father . This theory might be strengthened by the other statue ( now in Cairo ) , on which Takhat is also named as King 's Daughter and King 's Wife , but without any trace of recarving , while the king 's name replaced another name . This statue was , according to Dodson and Hilton , possibly made by Seti ; later it was usurped by Amenmesse who replaced Seti 's name with his own , while leaving his mother 's titles intact ; still later Amenmesse 's name was again replaced with that of Seti .
Amenmesse ( also Amenmesses or Amenmose ) was the fifth pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty in Ancient Egypt , possibly the son of Merneptah and Queen Takhat . Others consider him to be one of the innumerable sons of Ramesses II . Very little is known about this pharaoh , who ruled Egypt for only three to four years . Various Egyptologists date his reign between 1202 BC-1199 BC or 1203 BC-1200 BC with others giving an accession date of 1200 BC . Amenmesse means born of or fashioned by Amun in Egyptian . Additionally , his nomen can be found with the epithet Heqa-waset , which means Ruler of Thebes . His royal name was Menmire Setepenre .
Merneptah or Merenptah ( reigned July or August 1213 BC - May 2 , 1203 BC ) was the fourth pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt . He ruled Egypt for almost ten years from late July or early August 1213 BC until his death on May 2 , 1203 BC , according to contemporary historical records . He was the thirteenth son of Ramesses II and only came to power because all his older brothers , including his full brother Khaemwaset or Khaemwase , had died . By the time he ascended to the throne , he was probably around seventy years old . His throne name was Ba-en-re Mery-netjeru , which means The Soul of Ra , Beloved of the Gods . Merneptah was probably the fourth child of Isetnofret I , the second wife of Ramesses II , and he was married to Queen Isetnofret II , his royal wife , who was likely his full sister bearing the name of their mother . It is presumed that Merneptah was also married to Queen Takhat and one of their sons would succeed him as Seti II . They also were the parents of Prince Merenptah and possibly the usurper , Amenmesse , and Queen Twosret , wife of Seti II and later pharaoh in her own right .
Seti II ( or Sethos II ) was the fifth pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt and reigned from c. 1203 BC to 1197 BC . His throne name , Userkheperure Setepenre , means Powerful are the manifestations of Re , the chosen one of Re . He was the son of Merneptah and Isetnofret II and sat on the throne during a period known for dynastic intrigue and short reigns , and his rule was no different . Seti II had to deal with many serious plots , most significantly the accession of a rival king named Amenmesse , possibly a half brother , who seized control over Thebes and Nubia in Upper Egypt during his second to fourth regnal years .
Takhat was the mother of ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses IX of the 20th dynasty . It is likely that she was the wife of Montuherkhepeshef , a son of Ramesses III . A chamber of Amenmesse 's tomb KV10 was probably usurped and redecorated for her . Parts of a mummy thought to be hers were found .
Neferkare Ramesses IX ( also written Ramses ) ( originally named Amon-her-khepshef Khaemwaset ) ( ruled 1129 - 1111 BC ) was the eighth pharaoh of the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt . He was the third longest serving king of this Dynasty after Ramesses III and Ramesses XI . He is now believed to have assumed the throne on I Akhet day 21 based on evidence presented by Jürgen von Beckerath in a 1984 GM article . According to Papyrus Turin 1932+1939 , Ramesses IX enjoyed a reign of 18 years and 4 months and died in his 19th Year in the first month of Peret between day 17 and 27 . His throne name , Neferkare Setepenre , means Beautiful Is The Soul of Re , Chosen of Re . Ramesses IX is believed to be the son of Mentuherkhepeshef , a son of Ramesses III since Montuherkhopshef 's wife , the lady Takhat bears the prominent title of King 's Mother on the walls of tomb KV10 which she usurped and reused in the late 20th dynasty ; no other 20th dynasty king is known to have had a mother with this name . Ramesses IX was , therefore , probably a grandson of Ramesses III .
Usermaatre Ramesses III ( also written Ramses and Rameses ) was the second Pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty in Ancient Egypt . He is thought to have reigned from 1186 to 1155 BC and is considered to be the last great monarch of the New Kingdom to wield any substantial authority over Egypt . His long reign saw the decline of Egyptian political and economic power , linked to a series of invasions and internal economic problems that also plagued pharaohs before him . He has also been described as warrior Pharaoh due to his strong military strategies . He led the way by defeating the invaders known as the Sea People , who had caused destruction in other civilizations and empires . He was able to save Egypt from collapsing at the time when many other empires fell during the Late Bronze Age ; however , the damage of the invasions took a toll on Egypt . Ramesses III was the son of Setnakhte and Queen Tiy-Merenese . He was assassinated in the Harem conspiracy led by one of his secondary wives , Tiye , her son Pentawer , and a group of high officials .
Takhuit was the Great Royal Wife of Psamtik II . She dates to the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt .
Psamtik II ( also spelled Psammetichus or Psammeticus ) was a king of the Saite-based Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt ( 595 BC - 589 BC ) . His prenomen , Nefer-Ib-Re , means Beautiful [ is the ] Heart [ of ] Re . He was the son of Necho II .
Apries ( Ancient Greek : Ἁπρίης ) is the name by which Herodotus ( ii . 161 ) and Diodorus ( i . 68 ) designate Wahibre Haaibre , a pharaoh of Egypt ( 589 BC - 570 BC ) , the fourth king ( counting from Psamtik I ) of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt . He was equated with the Waphres of Manetho , who correctly records that he reigned for 19 years . Apries is also called Hophra in Jeremiah 44:30 ( Hebrew : חָפְרַע , Modern : Ḥafra ' , Tiberian : H̱āp̄era ' ; Greek : Ουαφρη [ ς ] , romanized : Ouafri [ s ] ) . Apries inherited the throne from his father , pharaoh Psamtik II , in February 589 BC and his reign continued his father 's history of foreign intrigue in Judean affairs . Apries was an active builder who constructed additions to the temples at Athribis ( Tell Atrib ) , Bahariya Oasis , Memphis and Sais . In Year 4 of his reign , Apries ' sister Ankhnesneferibre was adopted as the new God 's Wife of Amun at Thebes . However , Apries ' reign was also fraught with internal problems . In 588 BC , Apries dispatched a force to Jerusalem to protect it from Babylonian forces sent by Nebuchadnezzar II ( Jer . 37:5 ; 34:21 ) . His forces quickly withdrew , however , apparently avoiding a major confrontation with the Babylonians .
Ankhnesneferibre was an ancient Egyptian princess and priestess during the 26th Dynasty , daughter of pharaoh Psamtik II and his queen Takhuit . She held the positions of Divine Adoratrice of Amun and later God 's Wife of Amun between 595 and 525 BC , during the reigns of Psamtik II , Apries , Amasis II and Psamtik III , until the Achaemenid conquest of Egypt .
Talakhamani was a Kushite King of Meroe during the second half of the 5th century BCE . No prenomen is known , and his nomen is Talakhamani . He may have been a son of Nasakhma and a younger brother of Malewiebamani . It is also possible Talakhamani is a son of Malewiebamani . Talakhamani is known from a stela from his chapel which is now in Boston . According to an inscription in Kawa he died in his palace at Meroe . He is said to have been succeeded by Amanineteyerike at the age of 41 .
Nasakhma ( Nasakhmaqa ) was a Kushite King of Meroe . He was the successor of king Siaspiqa . Nasakhma was succeeded by Malewiebamani , who may have been his eldest son . It is possible that Talakhamani was a younger son of Nasakhma who took the throne after his brother Malewiebamani . Another possibility is that Talakhamani is Malewiebamani 's son and thus possibly Nasakhma 's grandson . Nasakhma was buried at Nuri ( Nu . 19 ) . The Boston Museum of Fine Arts holds several objects that may belong to Nasakhma : shabtis , vessel fragments , etc . excavated form his tomb .
Malewiebamani was a Kushite King of Meroe . Prenomen : Kheperkare ( Re is one whose ka is manifest ) Nomen : Malewiebamani Malewiebamani 's mother was likely Queen Saka'aye . Malewiebamani was the son of either Nasakhma or Siaspiqa . Amanineteyerike and Baskakeren are thought to be sons of Malewiebamani . Malewiebamani succeeded Nasakhma and in turn was succeeded by Talakhamani , who could be either a son or a younger brother of Malewiebamani . A Royal wife named Akhrasan from the time of Malewiebamani was buried at Nuri . Her relation to the king is not known . Malewiebamani 's name is known from a Shawabti and from intrusive items from pyramid Nuri 16 bearing his name . On the dedication stela of Aspelta , a private name occurs which is very similar to Malewiebamani 's name . His nomen appears at Kawa .
Tantamani ( Assyrian UR-daname ) , Tanutamun or Tanwetamani ( Egyptian ) or Tementhes ( Greek ) ( d. 653 BC ) was a Pharaoh of Egypt and the Kingdom of Kush located in Northern Sudan and a member of the Nubian or Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt . His prenomen or royal name was Bakare which means Glorious is the Soul of Re . He was the son of King Shabaka and the nephew of his predecessor Taharqa . In some sources he is said to be the son of Shebitku . Assyrian records call Tantamani a son of Shabaka and refer to Qalhata as a sister of Taharqa . Some Egyptologists interpreted the Assyrian text as stating that Tantamani was a son of Shebitku , but as he was most likely a son of Shabaka himself , it is now more common to consider Tantamani a son of Shabaka . Once the Assyrians had appointed Necho I as king and left Egypt , Tantamani marched down the Nile from Nubia and reoccupied all of Egypt including Memphis . Necho I , the Assyrians ' representative , was killed in Tantamani 's campaign . In reaction , the Assyrians returned to Egypt in force , defeated Tantamani 's army in the Delta and advanced as far south as Thebes , which they sacked . The Assyrian reconquest effectively ended Nubian control over Egypt although Tantamani 's authority was still recognised in Upper Egypt until his 8th Year in 656 BC when Psamtik I 's navy peacefully took control of Thebes and effectively unified all of Egypt . Thereafter , Tantamani ruled only Nubia ( Kush ) . Tantamani died in 653 BC and was succeeded by Atlanersa , a son of Taharqa .
Menkheperre Necho I ( Egyptian : Nekau , Greek : Νεχώς Α ' or Νεχώ Α ' , Akkadian : Nikuu or Nikû ) ( ? - 664 BCE near Memphis ) was a ruler of the Ancient Egyptian city of Sais . He was the first securely attested local Saite king of the 26th Dynasty of Egypt who reigned for 8 years ( 672-664 BCE ) according to Manetho 's Aegyptiaca . Egypt was reunified by his son Psamtik I .
Seqenenre Tao ( also Seqenera Djehuty-aa or Sekenenra Taa ) , called 'the Brave ' , ruled over the last of the local kingdoms of the Theban region of Egypt in the Seventeenth Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period . He probably was the son and successor to Senakhtenre Ahmose and Queen Tetisheri . The dates of his reign are uncertain , but he may have risen to power in the decade ending in 1560 BC or in 1558 BC ( based on the probable accession date of his son , Ahmose I , the first ruler of the eighteenth dynasty , see Egyptian chronology ) . With his queen , Ahhotep I , Seqenenre Tao fathered two pharaohs , Kamose , his immediate successor who was the last pharaoh of the seventeenth dynasty , and Ahmose I who , following a regency by his mother , was the first pharaoh of the eighteenth . Seqenenre Tao is credited with starting the opening moves in a war of revanchism against Hyksos incursions into Egypt , which saw the country completely liberated during the reign of his son Ahmose I .
Tetisheri was the matriarch of the Egyptian royal family of the late 17th Dynasty and early 18th Dynasty .
Tawerettenru was an Ancient Egyptian queen of the twentieth dynasty ; the Royal Wife of Ramesses V. Tawerettenru 's estate is mentioned in the Wilbour Papyrus , a document dated to the reign of Ramesses V. Based on this document , Tawerettenru is thought to be a wife of this King , but it is possible she dates to an earlier period . Grajetzki gives the hieroglyphs as transcribed from hieratic as follows :
Usermaatre Sekheperenre Ramesses V ( also written Ramses and Rameses ) was the fourth pharaoh of the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt and was the son of Ramesses IV and Queen Duatentopet .
Tefibi ( or Itj-ibj - It ( .i ) ib ( .i ) - in a more modern reading ) was an ancient Egyptian nomarch of the 13th nomos of Upper Egypt ( the Upper Sycamore ) during the 10th Dynasty ( c. 21st century BCE , during the First Intermediate Period ) . In addition , he also was hereditary prince , count , wearer of the royal seal , sole companion and high priest of Wepwawet . The main source about his life came from his biography , inscribed on the tomb III in Asyut . It is generally assumed that Tefibi was the second of a trio of related nomarchs datable to the Herakleopolite period ; he was likely preceded by his father Khety and followed by his son , also named Khety .
Thinis or This ( Egyptian : Tjenu ; Coptic : Ⲧⲓⲛ ) was the capital city of the first dynasties of ancient Egypt . Thinis is , as yet , undiscovered but well attested by ancient writers , including the classical historian Manetho , who cites it as the centre of the Thinite Confederacy , a tribal confederation whose leader , Menes ( or Narmer ) , united Egypt and was its first pharaoh . Thinis began a steep decline in importance from Dynasty III , when the capital was relocated to Memphis , which was thought to be the first true and stable capital after unification of old Egypt by Menes . Thinis 's location on the border of the competing Heracleopolitan and Theban dynasties of the First Intermediate Period and its proximity to certain oases of possible military importance ensured Thinis some continued significance in the Old and New Kingdoms . This was a brief respite and Thinis eventually lost its position as a regional administrative centre by the Roman period . Due to its ancient heritage , Thinis remained a significant religious centre , housing the tomb and mummy of the regional deity . In ancient Egyptian religious cosmology , as seen ( for example ) in the Book of the Dead , Thinis played a role as a mythical place in heaven . Although the precise location of Thinis is unknown , mainstream Egyptological consensus places it in the vicinity of ancient Abydos and modern Girga .
Shepsesre Tefnakht ( in Greek known as Tnephachthos ) was a prince of Sais and founder of the relatively short Twenty-fourth dynasty of Egypt ; he rose to become a Chief of the Ma in his home city . He is thought to have reigned roughly 732 BCE to 725 BCE , or 7 years . Tefnakht I first began his career as the Great Chief of the West and Prince of Sais and was a late contemporary of the last ruler of the 22nd dynasty : Shoshenq V. Tefnakht I was actually the second ruler of Sais ; he was preceded by Osorkon C , who is attested by several documents mentioning him as this city 's Chief of the Ma and Army Leader , according to Kenneth Kitchen , while his predecessor as Great Chief of the West was a man named Ankhhor . A recently discovered statue , dedicated by Tefnakht I to Amun-Re , reveals important details about his personal origins . The statue 's text states that Tefnakht was the son of a certain Gemnefsutkapu and the grandson of Basa , a priest of Amun near Sais . Consequently , Tefnakht was not actually descended from either lines of Chiefs of the Ma and of the Libu as traditionally believed but rather came from a family of priests , and his ancestors being more likely Egyptians rather than Libyans . Tefnakht is absent from the Manethonian tradition , perhaps because of the abbreviated form in which the Aegyptiaca came to us , perhaps because Tefnakht was considered a usurper .
Tefnakht II or Stephinates , was an ancient Egyptian ruler of the city of Sais during the early 7th century BC . He is recognized as an early member of the so-called Proto-Saite Dynasty , which directly preceded the 26th Dynasty of Egypt .
