Rule

Apparently, he is initially at Thebes recognized as king ( Sheshonk III and Harsiese II on statue of the vizier Nespaqaschuti or Nilstandsvermerk from the 6th year,. Different priest appointments ), where after the deposition by Harsiese the high priest and Crown Prince once again takes over the High Priesthood before it is taken over by Takelot. Maybe dates from this period, the decree which guarantees the rights previously probed the Wab - priest.

Petubastis I. traditionally considered the founder of the dynasty 23. If we assume Takelot II in the 23rd dynasty, he was the first pharaoh of this dynasty. He makes Tell Moqdam / Leontopolis to his residence and is in the 15th year Auput I. as a co-regent.

Datings of Amun - resistant

In the 39th year of the reign Sheshonk III. are with respect to a Wesirernennung under the Amun -Re - resistant for 26 Schemu I is in Thebes celebrations:

"Year 39 Sheshonk III, Day 26 in the first month of the season Schemu. Now the High Priest of Amun at Thebes was ... while celebrating the festival of Amun. On this day, the introduction of the vizier took place. "

Because of Amun -Re - feast, which always began on the new moon and lasted five days, there are several ways of dating, there is not clear from the inscription on which day of Amun -Re - resistant Sheshonk III. the Wesirernennung undertook. Certain is that the High Priest of Amun during the Wesirernennung already celebrated the Amun -Re - hard. From sources other years it is known that priests and Wesirernennungen were also made on the third or fourth day of Amun -Re - feast.

As a chronological approach, therefore, come all Amun -Re festivals in question, which include the 26 Schemu as a feast day. The 26th Schemu also provides the latest possible first holiday of Amun- Re - resistant dar. addition the eve of Amun -Re - feast may also be eligible for a Wesirernennung as a possibility because of the new moon and thus the first Mondmonatstag night than during the prelude was welcomed to Amun -Re - hard solemnly. Insofar as the official festival beginning fell on the twelfth hour of the night of the 25th Schemu that ushered in the beginning of Amun -Re - feast in the first hour of the day of 26 Schemu.

Rolf Krauss was due to its assumption that it constitutes the first day of Amun -Re - feast at the 26th Schemu I make any reliable assignment because of the coming of Rolf Krauss in question period, no Amun -Re - hard on 26 Schemu I began. The determined by Rolf Krauss on the moon data from other sources of government beginning Sheshonk III. in the year 831 BC, he called unsafe. The proposals by Aidan Dodson and Jürgen von Beckerath contrast, include the version that the 26 Schemu not represents the first day of Amun -Re - feast. Basically, however, those proposals may be excluded which do not consider the Amun -Re - hard and the associated potential for years.
