Topic: Rudamun


In the News (Tue 15 Dec 09)

  
  Twenty-third dynasty of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rudamun is a poorly attested king of this Dynasty according to Kenneth Kitchen's book on The Third Intermediate Period in Egypt.
Kitchen credits him with a brief reign of 2-3 Years due to the few contemporary documents known from his reign which include a small amount of work done on the Temple of Osiris Heqadjet, several stone blocks from Medinet Habu, a vase and 2 fragments of a statuette at Hermopolis.
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.

 GM NOTES - Rudamun   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Rudamun appears as a bandaged mummy approximately five and a half feet tall.
Due to his unusual state, Rudamun needs at least one year's rest between waking times, and when awakened he remains awake for three days.
Bureau Psi's assigned to study Rudamun have reported that while awake his mind is sharp and focused, but while "asleep" his mind cannot be detected at all.

This must mean that there is at least a strong possibility that Osorkon IV is the son of Rudamun.
So when we see Rudamun as Chief of the Libu in year 30 of Shoshenq V we may indeed be looking at the future king in an important post in Sais during the reign of his father or brother in the years before his unexpected rule.
It may have been aprocess that began earlier as it is known that Osorkon III's son (not yet king) Takelot became "High Priest of Arsaphes, governor of the South, General and Army Leader, and Chief of Pi-Sekhemkheperre".

 Dynasties 25 - Late Kingdom - Piye, Shebaka, Shebitku, Taharqa, Tantamani
Shepenwepet I was the sister of Rudamun of the Theban 23rd Dynasty, and apparently both Rudamun and Piye were recognized at Thebes at the same time.
After the death of Rudamun, the Theban royal line seems to have abandoned Thebes in favor of Hierakleopolis, where Peftjauawy-bast, the last king of his dynasty remained an ally of Piye.
Soon, Piye was given a reason to intervene further north.Tefnakhte (a Lybian), the Prince of Western Egypt based in the Delta city of Sais extended his control south by taking the city of Memphis, as well as the old Middle Kingdom of Itj-tawy (Lisht).

 Third Intermediate Period of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Thebes, a civil war engulfed the city between the forces of Pedubast, who had proclaimed himself Pharaoh versus the existing line of Takelot II/Osorkon B. These two factions squabbled consistently and the conflict was only resolved in Year 39 of Shoshenq III when Osorkon B comprehensively defeated his enemies.
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.
The Nubian kingdom to the south took full advantage of this division and political instability.

 The California Institute for Ancient Studies - List of Dynasties   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
[10] Rudamun is quite poorly attested in the Monumental evidence; as Kitchen observed in his 1986 TIPE book, there are 'few traces of his reign.' Under him, some work was done on the Temple of Osiris Heqadjet (Ruler of Eternity) at Karnak and at Medinet Habu, where a vase bears his name.
Such a minor record is hardly in keeping with a monarch who ruled Middle and Upper Egypt (both Takelot III & Rudamun are attested from Thebes to as far north as Herakleopolis) for almost 2 decades.
This feature rather suggest a far shorter reign of only 2-3 Years for Rudamun as Kitchen postulated in his 1986 TIPE book.

 [No title]
On a large reused block found at Medinet Habu, the 'Lord of the Two Lands Rudamun' is called 'King's Son of the Lord of the Two Lands, Osorkon, justified, possessing reverence'.
[27] The Osorkon concerned must be Osorkon III, for the cartouches of Usimare Rudamun Meryamun occur in the temple of Osiris which had been built and largely decorated by Osorkon III and Takeloth III.
This inscription is the sole basis on which Kitchen bases his claim that "Takeloth III was succeeded not by a son, but by a younger brother, Rudamun, of whose reign, which was probably brief, the merest traces are known.".
