Sobekneferu

Sobekneferu was the eighth pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty, who ruled from around 1244 to 1241 B.C. Her entire reign was alongside her father Amenemhat III. Very little is known about this ruler, but more in the revised history than the traditional.

Sobekneferu was the daughter of Amenemhat III, who was the son of Senusret III, who was himself the son of Senusret II. She had no known children.

In 1244 B.C., Amenemhat IV died in a skirmish with the Hyksos. Sobekneferu became ruler to help Amenemhat III fend them off, but she failed, and when she died in her fourth year the Hyksos captured the Nile delta.

Khety I

Khety I (*Meryibre Khety*) was the founder of the 9th Dynasty, who ruled around 1570 B.C. in Upper Egypt at Herakleopolis. He was one of the nomarchs of the 7th and 8th Dynasties, and he was succeeded by an unknown ephemeral king, followed by Neferkare VII. Very little is known about this pharaoh, but more in the revised history than the traditional.

Khety's parentage is unknown. He did not have any known sons, though Neferkare VII may have been one.

In the early sixteenth century B.C., late in the reign of Pepi II, power began to decentralize. By the time of Pepi's death, Egypt completely fractured and formed the 7th and 8th Dynasties, ruled by the different nomarchs of Egypt. Khety was one of these nomarchs, and late in this period (close to 1570 B.C.), he conquered the other nomes of Lower Egypt and began his own dynasty.

Khety I ruled for an unknown amount of time, but during his reign, he ruled with an iron fist and enslaved the Israelites who at the time lived in the Nile delta. This event is recorded in the Bible, though Khety is not named. He eventually died (according to some sources, he was killed by a crocodile) and passed the throne on to an unnamed ephemeral successor.

Thutmose IV

Thutmose IV was the eighth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, who ruled for around ten years from about 976 to 966 B.C. He succeeded his father Amenhotep II, and was succeeded by his son Amenhotep III. Little is known about this pharaoh in the revised history, because some of the inscriptions attributed to him in the traditional history in reality belong to Shabaka of the 25th Dynasty.

Thutmose IV was the son of Amenhotep II, who was the son of Thutmose III, who was himself the son of Thutmose II. He had several children, but the only one of note to the revised history is Amenhotep III who succeeded him.

Around 976 B.C., Amenhotep II died and passed the throne to his son Thutmose IV. The events of his reign are uncertain, as many of them should be attributed to Shabaka who also took his name as an honorary title. However, it is known that he conquered Gezer, and married his daughter to the king of Israel Solomon. Thutmose IV ruled for eight to ten years, and died in 966 B.C.

7th and 8th Dynasties

The 7th and 8th Dynasties of Egypt were dynasties of the First Intermediate Period, officially based at Memphis. They followed the 6th Dynasty, and were followed by the 9th and 11th Dynasties. These dynasties lasted from 1579 to 1571 B.C., or 8 years. The occupants of this dynasty are largely unknown, and most of them were simply nomarchs of their respective regions (including Mentuhotep I and Khety I).

In the early 16th century B.C., the power of the 6th Dynasty was beginning to crumble with their aging pharaoh, Pepi II. Power began to decentralize around this time. At Pepi's death, chaos ensued, and dozens of kings clamored for the throne, all considering themselves pharaoh of Egypt. This was the rapid 7th Dynasty, and according to some sources, it lasted for as little as 70 days.

To maintain the peace, power was 'officially' centralized back in Memphis, though many nomarchs still acted autonomously. This was known as the 8th Dynasty. People began to look for more authoritative rulers, and the territory of the nomarchs Khety I and Mentuhotep I (later Intef I) rapidly expanded. In 1571 B.C., they officially declared themselves pharaoh of Egypt, ending the period of chaos. This began the 9th and 11th Dynasties.

Smendes II

Smendes II was the fifth High Priest of Amun in the 21st Dynasty for less than ten years, ending in 597 B.C. He succeeded his father Menkheperre Piankhi, and was succeeded by his brother Pinudjem II. Little is known about this priest in either the revised or traditional history.

Smendes was the son of Piankhi, who was the son of Pinudjem I, the son of Piankh. He had some children, none of which are important to the revised history.

Around 600 B.C., the aged Menkheperre Piankhi followed the example of his father and gave his duties as High Priest of Amun to his eldest son Smendes. He acted as priest in Thebes, but likely was also a commander of the army during the military campaigns of his father. He died in 597 B.C., causing Piankhi to stop his campaigns and retire to Nubia.

Amenemope

Amenemope was the fourth pharaoh and priest-king of the Tanite 21st Dynasty, who ruled a large portion of the Nile delta centered on Tanis from 684 to 675 B.C. He succeeded his uncle or brother Amenemnisu, and was succeeded by Osorkon (Osochor). Little is known about this pharaoh.

Amenemope was the son of Psusennes I, making him either the nephew (most likely) or the brother (less likely) of Amenemnisu. He had no known sons.

In 684 B.C., Amenemnisu died, making his nephew or brother Amenemope the next pharaoh in line. He ruled for nine years, and in his tenth year died. Almost nothing is known of the events of his reign.

Horemheb

Horemheb was the thirteenth and final pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, who ruled all of Egypt as commander of the army from 904 to 897 B.C., and as king from 897 to 870 B.C. He succeeded Tutankhamen, and was succeeded by his vizier Ramesses I. Much more is known about this king in the revised history than the traditional history.

Horemheb's parentage is unknown, and he married into the royal family. He had no known children.

Some time around 930 B.C., Horemheb became the commander of the Egyptian army under Amenhotep III and Akhenaten. He ruled as such underneath Ay and Tutankhamen as well, until 904 B.C. when Tutankhamen died. After this, there was a short interregnum where no king ruled Egypt (904 to 897 B.C.) During this time, Horemheb effectively controlled most of Egypt.

In 901 B.C., Horemheb led a campaign to Judah to retake the lands that had been lost during the Amarna period (930 to 900 B.C.) However, Asa of Judah drove away the invading Egyptians with the help of divine intervention. When Horemheb became pharaoh four years later, he began to undo the reforms of Akhenaten brought on at the start of the Amarna period. This brought more peace to Egypt.

The rest of Horemheb's reign was relatively uneventful, and he died in his 27th year as pharaoh and his 59th year as commander of the Egyptian army. He passed the throne on to his vizier Ramesses I, who would begin the prosperous 19th Dynasty.

18th Dynasty

The 18th Dynasty was a dynasty based in Thebes (and later Amarna) that was a period of relative peace within Egypt. This dynasty followed the 15th and 17th Dynasties, and was followed by the prosperous 19th Dynasty. It lasted from 1069 to 870 B.C., or 199 years. The occupants of this dynasty were Ahmose I, Amenhotep I, Thutmose I, Thutmose II, Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Amenhotep II, Thutmose IV, Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, Ay, Tutankhamen, and Horemheb.

The dynasty began when Ahmose I and his brother, the pharaoh Kamose, expelled the Hyksos of the 15th Dynasty and began their own dynasty. He ruled for 22 years, as did his son Amenhotep. After them, the sickly pharaoh Thutmose I ruled, but he died within a few years. Thutmose II ruled for fourteen years after 1022 B.C., but his reign was largely uneventful.

The next pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty was the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, who ruled for twenty years while her son Thutmose III was still a child. Thutmose then ruled for ten years, and most of his achievements in the traditional history actually belong to Menkheperre Piankhi. His descendants Amenhotep II and Thutmose IV ruled for two decades, combined, after his reign.

The next rulers of the dynasty began the Amarna period, starting with Amenhotep III. He ruled alongside Solomon of Israel, his brother-in-law. The next pharaoh was the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten, who changed Egyptian religion to monotheism, and conquered Israel under the kings Rehoboam and Labaya/Jeroboam. The final pharaohs of the dynasty as it self-imploded were Ay, Tutankhamen, and Horemheb, who lost the territory of Israel to Asa of Judah.

Osorkon III

Osorkon III was the fourth pharaoh of the 23rd Dynasty, who ruled as pharaoh from 673 to 667 B.C. and as High Priest of Amun from 705 to 667 B.C. He succeeded Iuput I and Pedubast I, and was succeeded by his son Takelot III. A little is known about this pharaoh, no more in the revised history than the traditional.

Osorkon was the son of Takelot II, who was the grandson of Osorkon II. He had several children, but the most important to the revised history were Takelot III and one of his daughters who married Piankh of the 21st Dynasty.

In 673 B.C., both Pedubast I and his coregent Iuput I died, making Osorkon III pharaoh. In his second year, Osorkon made his own son, Takelot III, coregent and commander of the army in anticipation of an Assyrian attack. However, a year later, both Osorkon and Takelot were unable to stop Esarhaddon’s invasion and the following Assyrian occupation of Egypt. The rest of his reign was mostly uneventful, and he died in 667 B.C. making Takelot III the sole 23rd Dynasty ruler.

Neferkare VII

Neferkare VII was the third pharaoh of the 9th Dynasty, who ruled around 1560 B.C. in Upper Egypt at Herakleopolis. He succeeded Khety I (*Meryibre Khety*) and an unknown ephemeral predecessor. He was succeeded by Khety II (*Nebkaure Khety*). Very little is known about this pharaoh.

Neferkare's parentage is unknown, though he may certainly have been the son of his predecessor Khety I. He is not known to have had any sons, though Khety II may be one.

After Khety I died, Neferkare became pharaoh and ruled over most of Upper and Lower Egypt. However, the 11th Dynasty at Thebes opposed him, and so they became rivals. As Intef I expanded to the south, Neferkare VII appointed a nomarch Ankhtifi to prevent them from doing so. However, he failed, and Intef killed Ankhtifi and expanded all the way south to Nubia. Neferkare died, likely soon after this happened.

Merneptah

Merneptah was the fourth pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty, who ruled during a period of relative peace just before the catastrophic Santorini eruption. He ruled from 774 to 764 B.C. Merneptah succeeded his father Ramesses II, and was succeeded by several of his feuding sons, along with 22nd Dynasty and Tanite 21st Dynasty usurpers.

Merneptah was the thirteenth son of Ramesses II, and only became king because his older brothers had died during the lengthy reign of their father. Ramesses II was the son of Seti I, who was the son of Ramesses I. Merneptah had three sons of note to the revised history, Seti II, Amenmesse, and Siptah.

In 774 B.C., Ramesses II finally died, probably in his mid-nineties. His oldest surviving son, Merneptah, became pharaoh. Merneptah fought off attacks by Libyans from the west in his fifth year (770 B.C.), and claimed to have conquered Israel during the reigns of Jeroboam II, Amaziah, and Uzziah.

However, in 765 B.C., a volcano in the Mediterranean exploded, causing the catastrophic Santorini eruption. Merneptah's sons probably took this as a sign that his rule was no longer favored by the gods, and they began to rule in the south near Thebes. Merneptah died in this time of peril, and for the next five years no pharaoh would be the sole claimant to the throne of the 19th Dynasty.

The evidence for the revised history can be found at Displaced Dynasties. Evidence pertaining to this pharaoh specifically can be found here.
Taharka

Taharka was the fourth pharaoh of the 25th Dynasty, who ruled from 569 to 543 B.C. He succeeded Shabataka as the first among equals in Egypt (the 21st Dynasty was also continuing), was exiled to Nubia by invading Babylonian forces, and was succeeded by the self-proclaimed pharaoh Tanuatamon. More is known about this pharaoh in the revised history than in the traditional history.

Taharka was the son of Shabaka, son of Rudamon, son of Piankh. Piankh was also the son-in-law of Osorkon III. This connects Taharka to the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Dynasties. He had no sons of note in the revised history, and his nephew succeeded him.

In 569 B.C., Shabataka died and passed the throne of pharaoh to Taharka. As the first four years of Taharka's reign were during the madness of Nebuchadnezzar, he was able to gain control of much Babylonian territory in the Middle East. When Nebuchadnezzar regained his saneness, he was enraged. In 564 B.C., following the highest Nile flood in ancient Egyptian history, Babylon invaded Egypt and pushed Taharka south to Thebes.

In the next year, Taharka was driven even further south into Nubia, and his buildings and architecture in Upper Egypt were looted and destroyed. Taharka lived out the rest of his reign in Nubia, building many monuments and architecture in the small territory he had left. He died in 543 B.C., and was succeeded by his nephew Tanuatamon.

20th Dynasty

The 20th Dynasty was one of three dynasties that existed following the Santorini eruption, and one of four that existed just before the Assyrian occupation of Egypt. Its seat of power was originally in Pi-Ramesses, but moved to Thebes in the reign of Ramesses III. This dynasty followed the 19th Dynasty, ruled concurrently with the 21st (Tanis), 22nd, and 23rd Dynasties, and was followed by the 21st Dynasty (Thebes). It lasted from 759 to 662 B.C., or 97 years. The occupants of this dynasty were Setnakhte, Ramesses III, the intermediate Ramesside kings (IV-X), and Ramesses XI.

The dynasty began just after the Santorini eruption in 765 B.C., when Egypt was in chaos. Many children of Merneptah were claiming the throne for themselves, and Libyans and raiders were claiming parts of the Nile delta. Setnakhte unified the quarreling Egyptians, and united parts of Lower and Upper Egypt.

After Setnakhte died, his son Ramesses III became pharaoh. Ramesses attempted to fight off invading hordes from the 22nd and 21st Dynasties (which he called the Sea Peoples) but it became too much for him. He retreated to the south, and some time before his 29th year (729 B.C.) he moved the seat of power of the dynasty to Thebes.

The next group of kings, seven of them who all called themselves Ramesses (IV-X), ruled from Thebes and their activity was mostly confined to that area. After them, Ramesses XI ruled, but in his nineteenth year (671 B.C.) he was exiled to Nubia by invading Assyrian forces. He lived through the first ten years of the Assyrian occupation, and was killed by his successor in Thebes, Piankh.

21st Dynasty (Tanis)

The Tanite 21st Dynasty was a series of High Priests of Amun in Tanis, who ruled over the surrounding Nile delta for religious matters. The dynasty followed the Santorini eruption, ruled alongside the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 25th Dynasties, and was followed by the 26th and 27th Dynasties. It lasted from around 760 B.C. to 564 B.C., or about 206 years in total. Nine priest-kings ruled this dynasty, including Smendes I, Psusennes I, Amenemnisu (Nephercheres), Amenemope, Osorkon (Osochor), Nesubanebdjed (Psinaches), Psusennes II, Amenemopet, and Siamun.

The 21st Dynasty in Tanis began around 760 B.C. after the catastrophic Santorini eruption. A group of opportunistic nomads ruled by Smendes I took the territory surrounding Tanis from a fractured Egypt, and began their new dynasty. The priests and kings of this dynasty ruled peacefully alongside their counterparts, until 671 B.C. when Assyria invaded Egypt.

Soon after the invasion, Nesubanebdjed was chosen by the Assyrians to control all religious matters within Tanis and the surrounding Nile delta. He maintained communication with his southern equals, Herihor and Piankh. The dynasty still continued through the long-lasting reign of Menkheperre Piankhi, though greatly weakened.

Finally, with the invasion and occupation of Babylon beginning in 564 B.C., the last occupant of this dynasty (Siamun) was exiled or killed. The Tanite 21st Dynasty, having lasted for two centuries, was now no more.

Darius I

Darius I was the third emperor of the larger Achaemenid Empire, and a pharaoh of the 27th Dynasty (First Persian Domination) from 522 to 486 B.C. He succeeded Cambyses as Persian emperor, and ruled above Egyptian governors Psamtik I and Necho II. He was succeeded by the harsh ruler Xerxes I. Much is known about him in both of the Egyptian chronologies.

Darius was the son of Hyastaspes, as well as the brother-in-law and third cousin of Cambyses. This links him to previous rulers of the Persian Empire, explaining how he became emperor. He had only one son important to the revised history, his successor, Xerxes I.

In 522 B.C., Darius inherited the throne from his third cousin Cambyses. He ruled alongside Psamtik I for the first 33 years of his reign, and helped to continue to restore Egypt. He appointed Udjahorresne for this task early in his reign, who died within a decade. There were many revolts within his reign. In 489 B.C., when Necho II succeeded Psamtik I, Darius began work on a canal from the Nile River to the Red Sea, as preparation for his battles with Greece. Necho rebelled three years into his reign, and from 487 to 486 B.C., the last year of Darius I, he was busy putting down this rebellion. He died before this task was completed.

Amasis

Amasis was the fifth and last pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty, who ruled from 449 to 404 B.C. His 44 year reign was one of the most prosperous periods for Egypt, following the Inaros rebellion during the rule of Apries. He succeeded Apries, and was succeeded by Amyrtaeus, Apries’ grandson. A lot is known about this pharaoh, in both the traditional and revised Egyptian chronologies.

Amasis gained his power by usurping the throne during the Inaros rebellion, and he was not related in any way to the other 26th Dynasty kings. He was the son of Psamtik-sa-Neith, who was the son of Henat, son of Udjahorresne. This makes him the great-grandson of Udjahorresne, the famous official who ruled underneath Cambyses during the reign of Psamtik I. Amasis had several sons, the most famous of which was the architect Khnemibre.

The rule of Amasis began at the end of the Inaros rebellion, during the First Persian Domination (27th Dynasty). He wrested power from Apries in 454 B.C., and a civil war broke out that lasted for five years. Finally, in 449 B.C., Amasis was seen as the true ruler of Egypt by the populace. In his third year, 446 B.C., he attempted to gain independence from Persia again, and rebelled against Artaxerxes I. This attempt failed, and in the process, Apries was killed. Amasis was left as the pharaoh of Egypt.

Over the rest of his illustrious reign, Amasis made Egypt prosperous by trading with the Greeks and building up a Mediterranean empire. He based his trading kingdom on the city of Naucratis in the Nile delta, which had been founded during the Inaros rebellion years before. In Amasis’ final year (405 B.C.), Darius II died, and political turmoil broke out in Persia. Amasis attempted to take back Egypt, and succeeded. He soon died early in the year of 404 B.C., and the grandson of Apries, Amyrtaeus, became pharaoh.

26th Dynasty

The 26th Dynasty of Egypt was the period following the Babylonian invasion of 564 B.C., during the First Persian Occupation (27th Dynasty). This dynasty lasted from 543 to 404 B.C., 139 years total. It followed the 25th Dynasty and was followed by the 28th Dynasty. Five pharaohs ruled in this time, Psamtik I, Necho II, Psamtik II, Apries, and Amasis. In the traditional history, Psamtik III is to be included following Amasis, but he should be equated with Amyrtaeus of the 28th Dynasty.

This dynasty began when Cyrus the Great invaded the Nile delta in 543 B.C., expelling the remaining Babylonian garrisons and Tanuatamon. He appointed Psamtik I as governor over the region, a satrap of the Achaemenid Empire. Psamtik made it his goal to restore Egypt to its former glory, which was accomplished by 525 B.C. He continued to rule until his death in 489 B.C., when his son was made ruler of Egypt.

Necho II ruled from 489 to 474 B.C., his only noteworthy achievement being gaining Egyptian independence from Persia for three years during his rule. His son Psamtik II succeeded him, and ruled for six more years. Apries, also known as Amyrtaeus (I), ruled from 468 to 449 B.C., and rebelled against Persia for nearly two decades (465 to 446 B.C.). This is known as the Inaros rebellion.

Amasis, the final ruler of this dynasty, usurped the throne in the last years of the second Egyptian rebellion, and ruled for 44 years. His reign was prosperous for Egypt, creating a Mediterranean trading empire and bringing wealth to Egypt. However, he died in 404 B.C., opening the throne for Amyrtaeus, the grandson of Apries.

Combaphis (Kbdj)

Combaphis, known in the monuments as 'Kbdj' in Egyptian, was an official underneath Amyrtaeus from 404 to 399 B.C. and a pharaoh under Persian rule from 399 to 396 B.C. He succeeded Amasis and Amyrtaeus, and coruled with/was succeeded by Nepherites I. This pharaoh is not known by the traditional Egyptian history, though his rule is recorded by several Greek and Persian historians.

Combaphis (Kbdj) began as an official, possibly a vizier, under the rule of Amasis. After Amyrtaeus began to rule Egypt, and independence was secured from Persia, he began to correspond and work with a Persian official named Bagapates. By 399 B.C., Bagapates had planned an invasion of Egypt, and worked with Combaphis to succeed. Together they invaded Egypt, and deposed Amyrtaeus (Psamtik III). Combaphis was rewarded by Artaxerxes II and made a pharaoh, along with the more popular Nepherites I. He ruled for 3 years following the invasion.

After several hundred years, his invasion of Egypt was conflated with Cambyses' (his namesake) peaceful acquisition of Egypt a hundred years prior. This partially led to the incorrect traditional history today, as the 26th Dynasty was moved from its correct position during the First Persian Domination to 121 years before this.

Amenemnisu

Amenemnisu was the third pharaoh and priest-king of the Tanite 21st Dynasty, who ruled a large section of the Nile delta centered on Tanis from 688 to 684 B.C. He succeeded his (father or brother?) Psusennes I, and was succeeded by his (brother or nephew?) Amenemope. Not much is known about him, but more in the revised history.

Amenemnisu's parentage is unknown, but it was likely either Smendes I or Psusennes I. He is not known to have had any children.

In 688 B.C., Psusennes I died, and passed the throne onto his (son? brother?) Amenemnisu. He ruled for a short reign of four years, which were largely uneventful. During his rule, there was an (unknown to the revised history) High Priest of Amun Menkheperre, who had close ties to the 21st Dynasty. Amenemnisu died in his fifth year.

Tutankhamen

Tutankhamen was the twelfth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, who ruled all of Egypt from 914 to around 905 B.C. He succeeded his great-uncle Ay, and was succeeded by Horemheb. Not much is known about this pharaoh, though he is likely the most famous pharaoh in modern culture.

Tutankhamen was the son of Akhenaten, who was the son of Amenhotep III, who was himself the son of Thutmose IV. In fact, this line of ancestors stretches directly back to the founder of the dynasty, Ahmose I. He had no children who lived to adulthood.

In 923 B.C., Akhenaten died and passed the throne to his infant son Tutankhamen. Until 914 B.C., his great-uncle Ay would rule as pharaoh. When Tutankhamen was 9 or 10 years old, Ay died and Tutankhamen was forced to become king. In his short reign of nine years, he made reforms and ended the Aten-based religion that his father had started, and so his reign concluded the Amarna period. Tutankhamen died in his late teens, and Horemheb began to rule Egypt.

Herihor

Herihor was the first ruler and High Priest of Amun of the 21st Dynasty, who ruled as commander of the Egyptian army under the Assyrian occupation from 671 to 665 B.C. and as self-proclaimed ruler of Egypt from 665 to 661 B.C. He was appointed as commander of the army by Esarhaddon of Assyria, and was succeeded by Pinudjem I. Much more is known about Herihor in the revised history than in the traditional history.

Herihor’s parentage is not known, although some suggest that he may be the grandson of Ramesses XI through his mother. This is not likely in the revised history. He had some sons and daughters, though they are unknown to both histories.

In 671 B.C., the seventeenth year of Ramesses XI, the Assyrians ruled by Esarhaddon invaded and occupied Egypt. They exiled the Theban pharaoh Ramesses XI to Nubia, and appointed Herihor (at the time High Priest of Amun) as the commander of the Egyptian army. He made Piankh, son of Osorkon III, ruler at Thebes. Herihor ruled as commander of the army until 665 B.C., when he gave both his priestly and military duties to Piankh. He styled himself ruler of all Egypt, and he would maintain this facade until his death in 661 B.C. when Piankh’s son Pinudjem I was appointed his successor.

Rudamon

Rudamon was the sixth and last ruler of the 23rd Dynasty, who ruled from 665 to 664 B.C. and possibly until 646 B.C. in Nubia. He succeeded Takelot III, and his reign was followed by the Assyrian occupation and the 21st Dynasty. More is known about this pharaoh in the revised history than in the traditional history.

Rudamon was the son of Piankh, son of an unnamed king of Nubia. Piankh was also the son-in-law of Osorkon III, who was the son of Takelot II. This connects Rudamon to the following 21st Dynasty, as his father was the founder. He had several sons, but the most important of his sons was Shabaka of the 25th Dynasty.

In 665 B.C., Rudamon’s uncle, Takelot III, led a rebellion against the ongoing Assyrian occupation. He died in this attack and so Rudamon, his eldest living relative, was chosen as his successor. A year into his reign, he led another attack on Assyrian forces in the Nile delta. They defeated him easily, and for the rest of their occupation they would go unchallenged. Rudamon was driven into Nubia, where he had a son, Shabaka, who would go on to rule Egypt decades later.

Mentuhotep III

Mentuhotep III was the final pharaoh of the 11th Dynasty, who ruled all of Egypt from 1458 to 1446 B.C. He succeeded his father Mentuhotep II, and his reign was followed by the fractured 13th and 14th Dynasties. More is known about this pharaoh in the revised history than the traditional.

Mentuhotep III was the son of Mentuhotep II, who was the son of Intef III, who was himself the son of Intef II. He had at least one son, who died in the events of the Exodus in 1446 B.C.

In 1458 B.C., Mentuhotep II died and passed the throne on to his son Mentuhotep III. He continued the enslavement of the Israelites. Throughout his reign, he used this forced labor to build at least one building, a temple. However, Moses came to Egypt in 1446 B.C., and with the help of divine intervention, forced Mentuhotep to let the Israelites leave. Mentuhotep III drowned in the same year, leaving himself without a successor.

Merikare

Merikare was likely the third pharaoh of the 10th Dynasty, who ruled from around 1480 B.C. to 1471 B.C. He succeeded Khety III, and was conquered by Mentuhotep II. Little is known about this pharaoh, in either the revised or traditional histories.

Merikare was the son of Khety III, who may have been the son of Neferkare VIII. He is not known to have had any children.

Around 1480 B.C., Khety III died and passed the throne to his son Merikare. Merikare resigned himself to the existence of two dynasties, and made peace with the 11th Dynasty. However, Mentuhotep II was still outraged over the sacking of Thinis earlier in the reign of Khety III, and so he conquered Herakleopolis and killed Merikare (or possibly an ephemeral successor), uniting Egypt.

Merenre I

Merenre I was the fourth pharaoh of the 6th Dynasty, who ruled from 1646 to 1625 B.C. in Upper Egypt and from 1625 to 1617 B.C. in Lower Egypt at Memphis. He succeeded his father Pepi I, and was succeeded by his son Pepi II. Not a lot is known about this pharaoh.

Merenre was the son of Pepi I, who was the son of Teti, the founder of the dynasty. He had several sons, but the only one of importance to the revised history was Pepi II who succeeded him.

In 1646 B.C., Teti died and passed the throne of Lower Egypt to his son Pepi I. To fill the vacuum in the south, he made Merenre I the ruler of Upper Egypt. Merenre increased his power in Nubia, making governor of Upper Egypt an official position. However, Pepi I died in Merenre's twenty-second year, forcing him to become the primary pharaoh of Egypt in the north.

Merenre I's reign in Memphis was very uneventful, as he only ruled there for 7 years. During this time, the nomarchs of Egypt gained more power, setting the stage for the beginning of the First Intermediate Period.

Xerxes I

Xerxes I was the third emperor of the larger Achaemenid Empire, and a pharaoh of the First Persian Domination (27th Dynasty) from 486 to 465 B.C. He succeeded Darius I as Persian emperor, and ruled above Necho II, Psamtik II, and Apries as ruler of Egypt. He was succeeded by Artaxerxes I. Much is known about him in both the traditional and revised histories, as he took part in many battles.

Xerxes was the son of Darius I, son of Hyastaspes. His father was the brother-in-law of Cambyses, and his grandfather was the second cousin of Cyrus the Great. This connects him to the first pharaohs of the 27th Dynasty. He had many sons, but the only one important to the revised history is Artaxerxes I.

In 486 B.C., Xerxes I inherited the Persian throne from Darius I, and also inherited the problem of Necho II’s rebellion. It took Xerxes I two years to put down this rebellion, but after doing so, Xerxes gave little freedom to the Egyptian rulers underneath him. Necho lived out the rest of his reign in anonymity, as did Psamtik II for much of his rule. However, the next ruler of Egypt, Apries, decided to free his people from the bondage of Xerxes. He would not do so until after Xerxes I’s death in 465 B.C.

Shoshenq IV

Shoshenq IV was the sixth pharaoh of the 22nd Dynasty, and a regional ruler of Bubastis during the Assyrian occupation of Egypt from 673 to 660 B.C. He succeeded Shoshenq III, and was succeeded by Pemay. Little is known about this pharaoh, but more in the revised history than the traditional history.

Shoshenq IV's parentage is not known, though Shoshenq I is one of his direct ancestors. None of the sons of Shoshenq IV are known, and it is unlikely he had any, as he passed the throne on to Pemay, son of Sheshonq III.

In 673 B.C., Shoshenq III died and Shoshenq IV became pharaoh. He ruled over a large part of the Nile delta, centered around Bubastis. However, in his third year, Esarhaddon invaded Egypt and shrank the territory of the 22nd Dynasty (and all others at the time). Shoshenq may have participated in the rebellions of 665 and 664 B.C., but this is also unlikely as he was not killed or deported at those times. Shoshenq IV died in 660 B.C., and was succeeded by his relative (exact relationship unknown) Pemay.

19th Dynasty

The 19th Dynasty was the last dynasty of a united Egypt, that existed just before the Santorini eruption. The dynasty followed the 18th Dynasty, and was followed by the 20th Dynasty along with the 22nd and Tanite 21st Dynasties. It lasted from 870 to 759 B.C., or 111 years. The pharaohs of this dynasty were Ramesses I, Seti I, Ramesses II (the Great), and Merneptah. Interestingly enough, they would not only bring the greatest prosperity Egypt had ever seen but also a downfall that it would never recover from.

This dynasty began when Horemheb appointed Ramesses I (Horemheb's vizier) as his successor. Ramesses I, though only ruling for less than two years, would usher in the greatest prosperity Egypt had ever seen by his son Seti I. Seti ruled for 29 years, beginning in 869 B.C. He conquered Libya and Nubia, expanding Egypt farther than it had been in the 18th Dynasty.

His son Ramesses II was arguably the most famous pharaoh of all time, and he conquered the Levant, as well as several campaigns to Nubia. Ramesses also made the first peace treaty in recorded history, with the Hittite king Hattusili III. He died after a long 67 year reign.

Finally, Ramesses II's son Merneptah had a reign that was the polar opposite of Ramesses'. He lost much land to foreign invaders, and his reign ended with the catastrophic Santorini eruption in 765 B.C. Following this, there was an interregnum with many '19th Dynasty' pharaohs ruling at once (Seti II, Siptah, Amenmesse, Twosret, etc.) that ushered in one of the worst periods of Egyptian history, when it was fractured into many dynasties.

Osorkon I

Osorkon I was the second pharaoh of the 22nd Dynasty, who ruled a large section of the Nile delta centered on Bubastis for an uncertain period of time ending before 740 B.C. His rule may have been as long as 23 years, but this is unlikely. He succeeded the founder of the dynasty, Shoshenq I, and was succeeded by his son Takelot I.

Osorkon was the son of Shoshenq I, who founded the 22nd Dynasty following the upheaval of the Santorini eruption. The only son of note of his was Takelot I, who succeeded him.

Some time between 765 and 740 B.C., Osorkon I became pharaoh (how is not known, though given the short time scale involved, he was likely coregent with Shoshenq I). The events of his reign are largely unknown, because his rule closely followed the catastrophic Santorini eruption of 765 B.C. He died some time before 740 B.C.

Amyrtaeus (Psamtik III)

Amyrtaeus, also known as Psamtik III in the revised history, was the first and only pharaoh of the 28th Dynasty who ruled from 404 to 399 B.C. He succeeded Amasis and was succeeded by Combaphis (Kbdj) and Nepherites I. Not much is known about this pharaoh in the traditional history, but the revised history has much more information about him.

Amyrtaeus was a son of Pausiris, who was himself a son of Apries, who was a son of Psamtik II. This links him to the pharaohs of the 26th Dynasty.

In 405 B.C., after the accession of Artaxerxes II to the Persian throne and the political turmoil that ensued, Amasis took advantage and rebelled against the Persians by not paying tribute for his 44th year. After Amasis died, Amyrtaeus took the throne as a descendant of Apries. Amyrtaeus ruled for five, and nearly six years, until 399 B.C.

In 399 B.C., an official underneath Amyrtaeus named Combaphis (Kbdj) began conspiring with a Persian official named Bagapates to retake Egypt for Persia. This event is known as the Combaphis/Bagapates Rebellion in the revised history. These two worked together to defeat Amyrtaeus, and regain Persian control.

22nd Dynasty

The 22nd Dynasty was one of four dynasties that existed just prior to the Assyrian occupation of Egypt, and three dynasties that existed just after the Santorini eruption. It was preceded by the 19th Dynasty, and ruled concurrent with the 20th, 21st (Tanis), and 23rd Dynasties. It was followed by the 25th Dynasty. This dynasty ruled in Bubastis from 765 to 604 B.C., or 161 years. The dynasty consisted of Shoshenq I, Osorkon I, Takelot I, Osorkon II, Shoshenq III, Shoshenq IV, Pemay, Shoshenq V, and Osorkon IV.

The dynasty began just after the Santorini eruption in 765 B.C., when a group of opportunistic nomads ruled by Shoshenq I took over a section of the now politically fractured Nile delta. He and his two successors died by 740 B.C., when Osorkon II took power.

During Osorkon II’s reign, Takelot II split from this dynasty and created the 23rd Dynasty. Increasing dissonance within Egypt led to Assyria taking over the country in 671 B.C., and the dynasty became a series of regional rulers that governed only the small region of Bubastis.

Shoshenq V of this dynasty ruled for 38 years, and died in the Tefnakht rebellion of 619 B.C. His son and successor, Osorkon IV, ruled for fifteen more years, and at his death the dynasty was concluded.

Takelot II

Takelot II was the first pharaoh of the 23rd Dynasty, who ruled from 715 to 690 B.C. He succeeded Osorkon II and created a new dynasty in southern and central Egypt, and was succeeded by Pedubast I and Iuput I. More is known about this pharaoh than nearly any other ruler in this dynasty.

Takelot was the grandson of Osorkon II, and the father of Osorkon III. Little other than this is known about his genealogy.

In 715 B.C., the grandson of Osorkon II broke away from the 22nd Dynasty and formed a new dynasty in central and southern Egypt, near Thebes. This was the beginning of the 23rd Dynasty. The next major event in Takelot’s rule happened in 701 B.C., when Egyptian troops were sent to help Judah during an Assyrian attack by Sennacherib. They were defeated by the Assyrian king.

However, soon after this event, some sort of tectonic upheaval hit Egypt, causing social and political unrest. A rival of Takelot, Pedubast I, challenged his rule and took over Thebes, where he would rule until after Takelot’s death. Takelot died ten years later, and his death brought even more political upheaval.

Osorkon

Osorkon (known as Osorkon the Elder in the traditional history) was the fifth pharaoh and priest-king of the Tanite 21st Dynasty, who ruled a large section of the Nile delta centered on Tanis from 675 to 669 B.C. He succeeded Amenemope, and was succeeded by Nesubanebdjed (Psinaches). Little is known about this pharaoh in either the revised or traditional history.

Osorkon was the son of a king or priest Shoshenq, who possibly can be identified as Shoshenq III. He had no children of note to the revised history.

In 675 B.C., Osorkon succeeded Amenemope. Nothing is known about this succession, but it appears to have happened peacefully. He lived through the Assyrian invasion in 671 B.C., and survived to his seventh year when he died and passed the throne on to Nesubanebdjed (Psinaches).

The evidence for the revised history can be found at Displaced Dynasties. Evidence regarding this pharaoh specifically can be found here.
Nesubanebdjed

Nesubanebdjed was the sixth pharaoh and priest-king of the Tanite 21st Dynasty, who ruled Tanis and some of the surrounding area from 669 to 660 B.C. He succeeded Osorkon (Osochor) and was succeeded by Psusennes II. This pharaoh is not even considered to have existed in the traditional history, so more is known about him in the revised history.

Nesubanebdjed's parentage is unknown. He is not known to have had any children.

In 669 B.C., Osorkon died and passed the throne to Nesubanebdjed, who ruled a large section of the Nile delta for religious matters under the Assyrians. He is known to have had good relations with his equals in the south, Herihor and Piankh. Nesubanebdjed ruled underneath an Assyrian-appointed leader of Tanis called Pedubast (II). He died in his tenth year.

*You pull one way, I pull another. Man versus fish. Sometimes I wonder, was it me who took the bait? Tomorrow I will get a big catch, I swear! A stray seagull laughs at me in the skies. Oh faithful rod, shaking in my hands! I caught something big. It pulled me to my feet! How many years have I spent on this wharf? Sea breams and flounders populate my dreams. What is angling about? It's about a rod, a struggling fish on one end, and a struggling fool on the other. That's what people say, but I don't mind. I may be a fool, but I'm a fisherman. I fish to eat, I eat to fish. The white crests of ocean waves beckon. The whimsical tides decide my fate. They lure me, as I lure the fish. A stray seagull caws in disbelief. Oh faithful rod, bending under heavy weight! Losing now would shame me forever. It's a battle—no, a gamble.Oh faithful rod, snapped in half!*
