	Osorkon III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Usimare Setepenamun Osorkon III Si-Ese was the famous Crown Prince and High Priest of Amun Osorkon B, son of Takelot II by Queen Karomama-Merytmut.
		Osorkon III is attested by numerous impressive donation stelas and stone blocks from Herakleopolis through to Thebes and is generally thought to have been a contemporary of the Lower Egyptian Twenty-Second Dynasty kings, Shoshenq IV, Pami, and the first decade or so of Shoshenq V's reign.
		Osorkon III, thus, was almost certainly the High Priest Osorkon B, who defeated his father's opponents at Thebes in Year 39 of Shoshenq III, as Leahy notes.

	Takelot II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The Crown Prince Osorkon B was not outmaneuvered to the throne of Tanis by Shoshenq III as is generally thought because both individuals ruled over separate kingdoms with the 22nd Dynasty controlling Lower Egypt, and Takelot II/Osorkon B ruling Middle and Upper Egypt from Herakleopolis to Thebes, where they are attested.
		Osorkon B succeeded in retaining control of the city and then proclaimed himself as the new High Priest of Amun.

		Osorkon III was the son of Kamama Merymut, therefore he can be further identified as the firstborn son of Nefertari Mery-en-Mut known by the Egyptian name of Amen-hir-wenemef.
		Osorkon III understood that it was the "vision of God" for Meremptah to be deposed.
		The primary Libyan dynasts in the reign of Ramses II were Osorkon III and Sheshonq V. Although Sheshonq V died in Year 55 of Ramses II, his son Ramses/Tefnakht inherited his title and remained dominant in the Western Delta as a Libyan pharaoh.

	Osorkon II, of Egypt's 22nd Dynasty
		Osorkon was this king's birth name, which together with the epithet, meryamun, means "Osorkon, Beloved of Amun" His throne name was User-maaat-re Setepen-amun, meaning "Powerful is the Justice of Re, Chosen of Amun".

	The Temple of Osiris Hek-Djet (Heqadjet) at Karnak in Luxor, Egypt
		The 22nd Dynasty, of which Osorkon IV was the last ruler, is aptly called the Libyan or Bubastite Dynasty, for they were the rulers of Egypt at this time, operating out of the city of Bubastis in the eastern Nile Delta.
		Inside the temple, in the first, rectangular chamber on the east wall, the top register is the first of the divine worshipers, believed to represent Shepenwepet,, the daughter of Osorkon III of Egypt's 23rd Dynasty, who is presenting Ma'at to Amun and receiving the menat from Isis-Hathor.
		Osorkon III probably designated his son, Takelot as ruler of Hierakonpolis while he was also High Priest in the region.

		His nephew's grandson, Hor viii, was attested in the reign of Osorkon III of the parallel 23rd Dynasty [Kitchen, 1986, p.133].
		From the middle of the reign of Osorkon II, 863 GAD to the middle of the reign of Osorkon III 764 GAD should be 60 years (using 20 years a generation) rather than 99.
		Osorkon II is supposedly overlooked the many jubilee texts of the 19th Dynasty in favour of a 500-year-old text of the 18th Dynasty.

		Osorkon II appears to be the owner of NRT I, though he probably usurped it for himself and his father Takelot I, from Smendes.
		Osorkon was buried in a gigantic granite sarcophagus with a lid carved from a Ramesside period group statue, but only some debris of a hawk-headed coffin and canopic jars remained in the robbed tomb to identify the king.
		Osorkon II constructed a small temple further to the east and Necatanebo II and Ptolemy II built a temple to Horus to the south-east of the inner enclosure wall.

		Osorkon II formed alliances not only with Hoshea in Israel, but with the Phoenicians in the coastal towns of the eastern Mediterranean.
		Osorkon II and his near contemporaries Takeloth II and Sheshonk III are occupants of the late 8th and early 7th centuries, the dates assigned to the necropolis by the excavators.

	The relief of Sheshonk
		As far as the letter type on the sculptures of Sheshonk and Osorkon is concerned: according to the experts it corresponds mostly with the type of letters on the ostraca from Samaria, which were first attributed to the reign of King Ahab but later to that of Jerobeam II.
		Osorkon II was buried in Tanis in a tomb next to the tomb of Psusennes I. David Rohl proves (or tries to prove) in A Test of Time that Osorkon's tomb is older than the tomb of Psusennes, the first king of the 21st Dynasty.
		Osorkon II did boast that he had control over Palestina, which is in accordance with that seal.

	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.

		His construction also assumes Osorkon III and Osorkon IV are the same person but this extends the rule of the Libyans 50 years into the Ethiopian era.
		This implies that Osorkon II began to reign in 835 and Takelot I began to reign in 836.
		Hariese A, who was the HPA under Osorkon II, is conventionally the grandfather of Hariese B, who was the HPA in the middle of Shoshenq III 's reign A. However, no records attest to this relationship.

		Sheshonk III, Pedubast I, Takeloth II and others contested for control of Egypt, while the high priests Prince Osorkon (Osorkon B) and Harsiese (Harsiese B) both claimed religious authority in Thebes.
		Instead we suggest tentatively that the reference is to Mutemhet, identified in one text as the wife of king Osorkon (Osorkon I according to Egyptologists; Osorkon III according to this revision).
		There is no time to defend the claim, save to say that if she was the wife of Osorkon III, who apparently died in the 667 B.C. invasion, she would be the likely choice to succeed her husband.

	U.C. Berkeley Excavations at El Hibeh
		Prince Osorkon was ultimately victorious, and established himself as King Osorkon III of the (Theban) Dynasty 23.
		The temple bears inscriptions of Shoshenq I and Osorkon I, so both it and the temenos around it in the southern part of the site should be slightly later than the town wall.
		Prince Osorkon (later Osorkon III) launched his attacks on his unnamed foe in Thebes from El-Hibeh, the northern bastion of the Theban domain.

	Scarab in the Dust: Egypt in the Time of the Twenty-First Dynasty
		Osorkon II of the Libyan Dynasty was the Pharaoh So to whom Hoshea, the last king of Israel, 727-718 B.C., turned, in his disastrous intrigues against the Assyrian Empire.
		The 750-720 B.C. time of Ramses III correlates precisely with the Late Bronze-Iron interchange as revealed by John Bimson[8] and by Donovan Courville,[9] followed by Stan Vaninger,[10] who have cogently argued for this pariod as the fall of the Israelite northern kingdom.
		Velikovsky[31] remarks: "Apparently Osorkon's tomb was pillaged before Psusennes was put to rest, and possibly by Psusennes himself." Furthermore, "Psusennes himself appropriated the tomb of one Sosenk [sic], a Libyan Dynasty prince."[32] And both Shoshenq (from 770 B.C.) I and Shoshenq II (from c.695 B.C.) reigned before the time of our Psusennes.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Third Intermediate Period : Dynasty 23 : Thebes : Takelot III
		Takelot was originally appointed High Priest of Amun at Thebes by his father (who spread around the important jobs amongst his family).
		Takelot III continued the practice, making two of his sons, Djedptahiefankh and Osorkon High Priests and declaring his younger brother, Rudamon, as heir.
		THere are some chronologies that include Osorkon IV as a pharaoh, but he is not included in any of the standard lsits.

	High Priests of Amon (Thebes)
		Osorkon II appointed him to the post of high priest of Amun at Thebes.
		Kitchen opinion the high priest Osorkon has nothing to do with the king Osorkon III, who being the son of Karoma III Meritmut, in contrary to Osorkon, was not the son of Takelot.
		Furthermore D.A Aston believes that the high priest Osorkon is identified with king Osorkon III, who came to the rule at Thebes in times of Sheshonq III.

		While little is known of the layout of this temple, we believe an entrance hall is attributable to Osorkon II of the 22nd Dynasty.
		Osorkon II seems to have added a festival hall and hypostyle hall, while a sanctuary was built by Nectanebo II of the 30th Dynasty.
		A monumental granite gateway built by Osorkon II for his Sed-festival is a remarkable structure, decorated with scenes taken from the Sed-festival reliefs of Amenhotep III.

	King Piankhy (25th Dynasty)
		The details of his journey and the political jockeying for position between Piankhy and Osorkon III, the Egyptian ruler of Upper Egypt, remain obscure, but the determination of Piankhy to establish himself in Egypt and to gain the advantage over Osorkon III is clearly revealed by the following unprecedented event.
		Piankhy apparently coerced Osorkon III and his daughter, Shepenwepet I, who was serving as God's Wife of Amun at Thebes, to adopt his Nubian sister, Amenirdis I, as her heir and successor.
		The acquiescence of Osorkon III to Piankhy's demand for the adoption of his sister, Amenirdis, as Divine Wife of Amun, clearly suggests that there had to have been some basis in fact for this politically motivated religious act.

		A Year 19 date carved at Wadi Gasus associates the existing God's Wife, Shepenupet I (daughter of Osorkon III) with Year 12 of her Adopted Adoratice, Amenirdis.
		This inscription is interpreted by Egyptologists to mean that Year 12 of a Nubian king (either Piye or Kashta) was equivalent to Year 19 of one of Osorkon III's sons, likely Takelot III based on recent archaeological discoveries.
		As the next ruler of Nubia, Piye took advantage of the squabbling of Egypt's rulers and acted to halt a coalition between the local kings of Lower and Upper Egypt against the growing Kushite power in Upper Egypt after the defection of Nimlot of Hermopolis to Tefnakhte's side.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Egypt
		Under the kings of the Twelfth Dynasty, chiefly under Usertasen III (the Sesostris of the Greeks), the conquest was achieved, and the valley of the Upper Nile as far as the Second Cataract was organized into an Egyptian province.
		Ramses III had to repel another invasion of the Libyans, impelled this time by Meshwesh (the Maxyes of Heroditus), and shortly after he found it necessary to appear again with his army in Northern Palestine, where rebellion ha broken out against some of his vassals.
		Tachos (360-359), his successor, attempted to invade the Syrian territory, but, as a result of rivalries and dissensions between himself and his namesake Tachos, whom he had appointed as regent, he was supplanted by Nectanebo II (358-342), a cousin of Tachos the regent, and took refuge with Artaxerxes II, at whose court he died.

		The country was firmly reunited by the Twenty-Second Dynasty founded by Shoshenq I in 945 BC (or 943 BC), whom many, especially those adhering to the validity of the Bible, think was descended from Meshwesh immigrants, while others, particularly Nubiologists (those researching Nubia), have proposed that he was a Nubian.
		He proceeded to found the Upper Egyptian Libyan Dynasty of Osorkon III – Takelot III – Rudamun, but this kingdom quickly fragmented after Rudamun's death with the rise of local city states under kings such Peftjaubast of Herakleopolis, Nimlot of Hermopolis, and Ini at Thebes.
		Pharaoh Psamtik III had succeeded his father Ahmose II scarcely a year in 526 BC before he had to face the might of Persia at Pelusium.
