	The Global Egyptian Museum \| Herakleopolis magna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The holiest place in Herakleopolis was the sacred lake, which according to the Palermo Stone was dedicated in the 1st Dynasty.
		Chapter 175 of the Book of the Dead associates the lake of Herakleopolis with the blood of Osiris which he lost as the result of an injury incurred by wearing the heavy royal crown.
		It also explains why blood plays an important role in the rituals of Harsaphes, who had an offering and purification cult near the lake; it is the blood of Seth that poured from his nose when he bowed before Osiris, and which was buried by Re in the ground.

	First Intermediate Period - Dynasties 7-10
		In the meantime, however, a rival line (the Eleventh Dynasty) based at Thebes reunited Upper Egypt and a clash between the two rival dynasties was inevitable.Around 2055 BC a descendant of Inyotef defeated the Heracleopolitan Pharaohs, reunited the Two Lands, and ruled as Mentuhotep II thereby ending the First Intermediate Period.
		This dynasty was also known as the Herakleopolis Dynasty because the rulers controlled lower Egypt from Herakleopolis.
		However, this was short lived and the country split into two, the north ruled from Herakleopolis and the south ruled from Thebes.

	City of Henen-nesut
		Later, it became the town of Herakleopolis Magna to the Greeks, and later Hennes in Coptic and Ahnas in Arabic.
		During the chaotic and relatively unknown period of the 9th and 10th Dynasties, the city became very important as the seat of power for Lower Egypt, and at times, virtually all of Egypt.
		Somehow the Greeks also got the idea that Herishef was another name for Herakles, so the town acquired its classical name of Herakleopolis Magna.

	Twenty-third dynasty of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There is much debate surrounding this dynasty, which may have been situated at Herakleopolis Magna, Hermopolis Magna, and Thebes but monuments from their reign show that they controlled Upper Egypt in parallel with the Twenty-second dynasty of Egypt shortly before the death of Osorkon II.
		Osorkon III is attested by numerous donation stelas and stone blocks from Herakleopolis through to Thebes and is thought to have been a contemporary of the Lower Egypt Twenty-Second Dynasty kings, Shoshenq IV, Pami, and Shoshenq V.
		Rudamun preserved the unity of his father's large kingdom from Herakleopolis to Thebes during his reign; however, soon after his death, this kingdom quickly fragmented into three local city states under rulers such as Peftjaubast of Herakleopolis, Nimlot at Hermopolis, and Ini at Thebes.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.05.07
		Just how documents originating from the highest circles of Alexandria ended up in a necropolis up country remains something of a mystery, and Salmenkivi provides an excellent summary at the beginning of the volume analyzing the history of excavation at the site and of the papyri, including the literary texts, that derive from it.
		All of these papyri are from the same cartonnage, and derive from two archives of royal scribes (basilikoi grammateis) of the Herakleopolite nome dating to the first half of the first century BCE, and thus probably written in the nome capital, Herakleopolis Magna, itself.
		The majority of texts concern payment orders (some of them fragmentary) and related texts concerning tax-grain shipments to the royal granary at Alexandria or delivery of seed to the royal farmers.

		Besides these pedestals of statues, the main group of greek epigraphical monuments of Old-Paphos, there are only a few other monuments providing further honorific or dedicatory inscriptions which give insight in cult practices as well as social and administrative history: decrees of soldiers and officials, dedications, catalogues of offerings and royal letters from the Ptolemies.
		The Third Intermediate/Late Period necropolis excavated at the ancient site of Herakleopolis Magna between 1985-1993, has brought to light some foreign pottery vessels -complete pieces and several broken sherds- which are difficult to decide if they were in origin Phoenician or Cypru-Phoenician vessels.
		The aim of this communication is to discuss if these foreign potteries has been found in groups or as isolated pieces, and how were the Egyptian archaeological contexts where these specific pottery vessels has been found.

		The texts shows that there was great difference of opinion about the name of this monster, which is given as Mates, and Beba, and Heri-Sep-F,.
		These facts, which are derived chiefly from the xviith Chapter of the Book of the Dead, prove that Henen-su, or Herakleopolis, possessed a system of theology of its own, and that this system must be very ancient, but whether it is older than that of Heliopolis it is impossible, at present, to say definitely.

		His ancestors were Libyans who had settled in Egypt during the late New Kingdom, probably at Herakleopolis Magna, though Manetho claims Shoshenq himself came from Bubastis, a claim for which no supporting physical evidence has yet been discovered.
		Significantly, his Libyan uncle Osorkon the Elder had already served on the throne for at least six years in the preceding 21st Dynasty; hence, Shoshenq I's rise to power was not wholly unexpected.
