	The Meshwesh on the Web
		In 1182 BCE, Egypt was under threat from an alliance between the Libyans and the Meshwesh—who possibly also coordinated an attack with the Philistines and the Tjekker (Drews 1995: 51).
		Following Ramses III’s victory in the second Libyan war, the Meshwesh were left with enough strength and numbers to become Egypt’s chief opponent for the remainder of the conflict (Nelson 1931: 8-9).
		Another historical record of the Meshwesh comes from inscriptions found at Karnak from Merneptah’s victory in Libya during the fifth year of his reign—when he fought against an army composed of the Libyans, Meshwesh, and other northern sea-borne forces (Barnett 1975: 366; Breasted 1906).

		During the 19th and 20th Dynasties, the Meshwesh were in almost constant conflict with the Egyptian state, ultimately taking control of the country during the late 21st Dynasty under king Osochor.
		The Meshwesh are known from ancient Egyptian texts as early as the 18th Dynasty, where they are mentioned as a source of cattle provided to king Amenhotep III's palace at Malkata.
		This time, it was the Meshwesh who instigated the conflict, though other Libyan tribes and their Sea People allies were involved in fighting two major campaigns against the Egyptian king, in Ramses III's Regnal Years 5 and 11.

		This describes how the Meshwesh were encouraged by the Rebu to undertake the attack, stating that the Meshwesh "listened to their counsel" and were now "upon the path of crime like them" (Bates 1914:223; Peden 1994:49).
		Maybe the Meshwesh were less aggressive, and even though they had been part of the earlier invasions, their role seems to have been more minor.
		That the Meshwesh and Rebu possessed such a stratified society as required by this model is illustrated in the records of Merenptah and Ramesses III, where their chiefs and systems of "government" can be discerned to a certain extent (O'Connor 1990:66-81, 103-106).

	Egypt: History - Dynasty XX (Twentieth Dynasty)
		The Libu and Meshwesh were settled in Egypt and had seized the towns of the Western Tract from Kikuptah (Memphis) to Keroben, and had reached the Great River on its every side.
		We learn that Mesher, the Chief of the Meshwesh, was taken prisoner, and that his father Keper appealed for mercy in vain.
		This incident is also depicted in the striking scene where are enumerated the hands and phalli of the slain, the captives, the arms taken as booty, and the cattle added to the herds of the Theban god and those otherwise disposed of.

	The rise to power of the Libyans
		When the Nubian Piankhi conquered Egypt towards the end of the 8th century BCE, he found three kings in the delta and fifteen great chiefs of the Meshwesh.
		From this period dates the division of Egypt into three parts: the Delta, ruled by the pharaohs of Bubastis, Middle Egypt with its southern frontier at Asyut governed by the princes of Herakleopolis and Upper Egypt administered by the priests of Amen and the Wife of God.
		After Takelot II (ca 850—825 BCE) the authority of the king over the chiefs of the Meshwesh was practically non existent.
