	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Egypt
		Hrihor's rule, in fact, never extended over Lower Egypt, and his independence was not even suspected by Manetho who, after Ramses XII, introduces the Twenty-first Dynasty with Nesubenebded as its founder.
		In ancient Egypt the tuft of papyrus was the coat of arms or symbol of the Northern Kingdom.
		From Khafre, the second king of the fourth dynasty, to the end of the sixth dynasty, the name Re is a part of the name of almost every one of those kings, and the monuments show that during that period numerous temples were erected to the chief of the Heliopolitan Ennead in the neighbouring nomes.

	Egypt
		Their earlier dominion was the 15th Dynasty of Egypt, and that was followed by another movement, the 16th Dynasty, about 2250 bc, which was the date of the migration of Terah from Ur.
		From the 12th Dynasty comes the detailed account of the life of an Egyptian in Palestine (Sanehat); and Cretan pottery of this age is found traded into Egypt.
		In the 20th Dynasty one of the royal daughters married the high priest of Amen at Thebes; and on the unexpected death of the young Rameses V, the throne reverted to his uncle Rameses VI, whose daughter then became the heiress, and her descendants, the high priests of Amen, became the rightful rulers.

	Dynasty 3 - Sanakht, Djoser, Sekhemkhet, Khaba, Huni,
		Because Queen Nimaethap, the wife of Khasekhemwy, the last king of the Second dynasty of Egypt, appears to have held the title of "Mother of the King", some writers argue that she was Djoser's mother and Khasekhemwy was his father.
		The Pharaohs of the Third Dynasty were the first to have actual pyramids constructed as shrines to their deaths.
		However, despite this, mud seal impressions bearing the name of Nethery-khet Djoser from the Abydos tomb of the last king of the 2nd Dynasty Khasekhemuy and connected with the burial seem to suggest that Khasekhemuy's widow and her already ruling son Djoser were in charge of the king's burial.

	Ancient Egypt
		Certainly the predynastic inhabitants of Upper Egypt worshipped a composite animal as the cult object of the god Set, and the reverencing of the ram or goat, which was common in all periods of Egyptian religion, had its origin at this time.
		To build the pyramid itself took twenty years; it is square at the base, its height (800 feet) equal to the length of each side; it is of polished stone blocks beautifully fitted, none of the blocks being less than thirty feet long.
		The third method, used for embalming the bodies of the poor, is simply to clear out the intestines with a purge and keep the body seventy days in natrum.

	Phoenicians in Egypt
		Petrie said, after his excavations in northern Egypt during 1890-91, that a "profound separation existed between the 22nd Dynasty and all that was previous, and that the new men of the Delta must have obtained their habits from a fresh source" (Petrie 1974b).
		The Third Intermediate Period is the period of the greatest contact between Mediterranean Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean.
		Without more evidence from Delta sites, and a re-evaluation of the surviving material of the Third Intermediate Period, it will remain impossible to reach a conclusion, and even more difficult to try to establish whether luxury goods were produced by Egyptians, or by Phoenician or other Eastern Mediterranean craftworkers within Egypt.

	Ancient Nubia -- Map and History - 25th Dynasty Egypt
		Taharqa's twenty six year reign (690-664 BC) stands out from any other in the Third Intermediate Period by the extent of the building program he implemented in the first sixteen years of his reign, and the extent of the fighting with the Assyrians in the later years.
		This is the end of the 25th Dynasty Egypt; withdrew to Nubia; moved their administrative center further south, from Napata to Meroë.

	Egypt - The New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period, 1552-664 B.C.
		He was honored by subsequent generations as the founder of a new line, the Eighteenth Dynasty, and as the initiator of a glorious chapter in Egyptian history.
		This dynasty's ventures into Palestine brought about an Assyrian intervention, resulting in the rejection of the Ethiopians and the reestablishment by the Assyrians of Egyptian rulers at Sais (Sa al Hajar), about eighty kilometers southeast of Alexandria (Al Iskandariyah) on the Rosetta branch of the Nile.
		The country was liberated from the Hyksos and unified by Ahmose (ruled 1570-1546 B.C.), the son of the last ruler of the Seventeenth Dynasty.

	Egypt: History - Pharaonic Dynasty IIV (Third Dynasty)
		The Third Dynasty, which with the next three dynasties constitutes the Old Kingdom, is characterized by the grand line of pyramids running along the western desert from near the level of modern Cairo.
		The twenty-nine years given by Manetho might be accepted the more readily were it not that his Dynasty III counts nine kings, all of them except Tosorthros (Djoser) with unidentifiable names and having 214 years as the total of their reigns.
		Egypt has no more remarkable spectacle to offer than the comparatively recently excavated and restored complex of buildings of which that earliest of the pyramids forms the center.

	Egypt: History - Dynasty XXIII (Twenty-third Dynasty)
		Manetho's TWENTY-THIRD DYNASTY consists of only four kings, the third (Psammus) being unidentifiable and the fourth (Zet) confined to Africanus and probably an error.
		At the head of the dynasty is a Petubastis said to have reigned 40 years according to Africanus, but only 25 according to Eusebius.
		What little of the kind we hear of is derived from the Old Testament, as we shall soon see.

	Egypt
		Because of the importance of Egypt as the Empire's breadbasket, by law the governor of Egypt could not be of the Senatorial class (it was feared that consolidating too much power in a Senator invited revolt).
		To put this in a certain perspective, Pharaonic Egypt encompasses some 2575 years, or about 50% of Egyptian history.
		During the 22nd through 26th dynasties, the cities of Athribis and Heliopolis were under the control of a hereditary princedom, nominally subservient to the Pharaohs.

	Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Twenty-Fifth Dynasty of ancient Egypt originated in Kush at the city-state of Napata, from whence they invaded and took control of Egypt under Piye (spelled Piankhi in older works).
		The Twenty-First, Twenty-Second, Twenty-Third, Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Dynasties of ancient Egypt are often combined under the group title, Third Intermediate Period.
		Starting with the reign of Taharqa, they were ultimately driven back into Nubia, at first by the Assyrians, then by the kings of the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty, where they established a kingdom at Napata (656 - 590 BC), and, later, at Meroë (590 BC – 4th century AD).

		That so little is heard of the relations of Egypt to Palestine and the countries beyond was the natural result of her own divided state.
		Wenamun is insistent in maintaining that everywhere, not in Egypt alone, the overlordship belonged to the Theban god Amun, earthly monarchs being mere mortals.
		For the first four we may probably accept Manetho's order of Smendes, Psusennes, Nephercheres, and Amenophthis, but the Osochor whom he gives as his fifth name must be suspected of being borrowed from Dyn.

		Other dynasties are known to us by their monuments, especially their tombs, which are often extremely rich in information as to the institutions, arts, manners, and customs of Egypt during the lifetime of their occupants, but almost totally devoid of historical evidence proper.
		Judging from that epitome, the work of Manetho was divided into three parts, the first of which contained the reigns of the gods and demi-gods (omitted in the African recension) and eleven dynasties of human kings; the second, eight dynasties of such kings; the third, twelve (the last one added after Manetho's death).

		He was followed, however, by a series of weaker kings and Egypt finally collapsed into another period of political chaos: the Third Intermediate Period.
		If you migrated to Egypt, you did not become an Egyptian, but became a "sojourner" or "foreigner." The life of a foreigner in Egypt and elsewhere occupied a range of possibilities: sometimes foreigners had fewer privileges and rights, but more often they were allowed to form their own communities with their own leaders and laws.
		Of all the kings of Egypt, Narmer is among the most legendary; for according to Egyptians, he united the two parts of Egypt and became the first king of the Two Lands, Upper and Lower Egypt.

	Bast, Egyptian Cat Goddess, Goddess of Love, Life and Sex
		Although, as patron of the kings of Bubastis, Bast had already become one of the great divinities of Egypt, it was in the fourth century BC that she achieved her greatest popularity.
		She was related to the sun-god whom some called her father and others her brother-spouse; and she became - like Sekhmet, with whom she is frequently confused in spite of their very dissimilar characters - the wife of Ptah of Memphis and with him formed a triad in which Nefertum was the third person.
		Though in origin a lioness-goddess, personifying the fertilising warmth of the sun, her sacred animal later became the cat, and she is represented as a cat-headed woman holding in her right hand either a sistrum or an aegis, composed of a semi-circular breastplate surmounted with the head of a lioness.

	Saqqara (Sakkara, Egypt. Dynasty 1,2,3)
		In the Second and Third Dynasty, the officials were forced to move their site of burial westwards, in a recessed position from the 1st Dynasty tombs line.
		The remaining part of the Second Dynasty has left but few traces at Saqqara; this obviously reflected the difficult period the state was undergoing; there seems to have been an important reprise of building activity in the reign of Khasekhemwy, although only few minor private (unpublished) tombs can be dated to his reign (S3034, S3043).
		This was the last mastaba of the 1st Dynasty Emery cleared near the eastern escarpment of the cemetery (December 31, 1955 - March 3, 1956).
