		Osorkon II was a pharaoh of the Twenty-second Dynasty Ancient Egypt between 872 BC to c.
		Osorkon succeeded his father Takelot I to the throne of Egypt but was faced with the competing rule of his cousin, king Harsiese A, who controlled both Thebes and the Western Oasis of Egypt.
		Osorkon feared the serious challenge posed by Harsiese's kingship to his authority, but, when Harsiese conveniently died in 860 BC, Osorkon II ensured that this problem would not recur by appointing his own son Nimlot C as High Priest of Amun at Thebes.

	Osorkon I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Osorkon I's reign was known for many temple building projects and was a long and prosperous period of Egypt's History.
		Although Osorkon I is thought to have been directly succeeded by his son Takelot I, it is very likely that another ruler, Heqakheperre Shoshenq II, intervened briefly between these two kings because Takelot I was a relatively minor son of Osorkon I through Queen Tashedkhons-a secondary wife of this king.
		Osorkon I's reign in Egypt was peaceful and uneventful; however, both his son and grandson, Takelot I and Osorkon II, later encountered difficulties controlling Thebes and Upper Egypt in their own reigns since they had to deal with a rival king there: Harsiese A.

		A third Nemrat who was a son of Osorkon II bore the title 'commander of the army of Ha-Ninsu' (Heracleopolis) and the same designation occurs with Bekenptah, a brother of the high-priest Osorkon under Shoshenk III.
		Osorkon's speech to the god seems to have included reproaches that he had unduly favored the rebels, but this was not taken amiss, and agreement was easily reached.
		The importance of Osorkon's very lengthy autobiographical text lies less in the personality of its central figure than in the picture which it presents of an Egypt torn by dissension and seeking to maintain the sovereignty of the rulers in the north.

	Osorkon II
		It was long before Osorkon replaced Smendes III as High Priest of Amun with his cousin - Harsiese (this is seen as rather strange, breaking the tradition of the 22nd dynasty of placing either a brother or son in this position of power).
		Osorkon II had very little or no ambition outside Egypt, the only case of an Egyptian army leaving Egypt was to join the coalition of Syro-Palestinian polities that opposed the Assyrian King Shalmaneser III.
		When he died Osorkon II was buried within his tomb at Tanis, re-using a sarcophagus dating from the Ramesside period.

		I repeat again, Osorkon G son of Takelot III was never HPA and from the phrasing on his coffin fragments died during the coregency.
		Osorkon F must be the son either of Rudamun or of another king after Takelot III; if he was a late-born son of Takelot after the death of his half-brother then the effect is the same.
		Whilst Osorkon II in his "prayer for his family" asks the gods for the lives of the queen's children, and asks for his sons to be made HPPs, HPArsaphes, and Great Chiefs of the Ma, there is no reference to HPAs (despite the existence of Harnakht C).

	Pharaohs and the Bible
		Pharaoh Osorkon II, who belonged to the 22nd dynasty, was buried in Tanis in a tomb that was older than the adjacent crypt which contained the tombs of pharaohs Psoennes I and Amenemope of the 21st dynasty.
		In 852 B.C., the 23rd year of Osorkon II - he was the fourth pharaoh of the 22nd dynasty - again an Apis bull was buried in a tomb in the Serapeum, and from then on the old tradition was restored, as shown by inscriptions on stelas.
		The high priest Sheshonk therefore was a son of Osorkon I. Har-Psoennes is pharaoh Psoennes II, and his daughter, the last pharaoh of the 21st dynasty, married Osorkon I, son of Sheshonk I, the first pharaoh of the 22nd dynasty.

		Suppose the reigns of Osorkon II and Takelot I are advanced exactly 40 years with respect to Shoshenq III and Petubates, then Shoshenq III would completely overlap Takelot II, who ruled 25 years, and would overlap Osorkon II by 15 years.

	Articles - Takelot II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		All the documents and stelas which mention Takelot II and his son, Osorkon B, originate from either Middle or Upper Egypt(none from Lower Egypt) and a royal tomb at Tanis which named a Hedjkheperre Setepenre Takelot along with a Year 9 stela from Bubastis are now recognised as belonging exclusively to Takelot I instead.
		Osorkon B did not immediately ascend to his father's throne presumably because he was involved in a prolonged civil war with his rival, Pedubast I and later Sheshonq VI, for control of Thebes.
		Consequently, the Crown Prince Osorkon B was not outmaneuvered to the throne of Tanis by Shoshenq III as was previously thought because they both ruled over separate kingdoms with the 22nd Dynasty controlling Lower Egypt, and Takelot II holding Middle and Upper Egypt from Herakleopolis to Thebes, where he and his son are attested.

	Osorkon II (878 to 854 BC)
		Osorkon II succeeded Takelot I as pharaoh in 878 BC at much the same time that his cousin Harsiese succeeded his father (Sheshonq II) as High Priest of Amun at Karnak.
		Osorkon thereby had the two major priesthoods of Egypt in his family's grasp as a political move rather than from any religious motivation.
		The argument that Osorkon II had usurped an older tomb (perhaps that of pharaoh Smendes) is mere speculation.
