Kenneth Kitchen, in his latest 1996 edition of ''The Third Intermediate Period in Egypt (c.1100–650 BC)'', maintains that Shoshenq II was the High Priest of Amun Shoshenq C, son of Osorkon I and Queen Maatkare, who was appointed as the junior coregent to the throne but predeceased his father.[15] Kitchen suggests such a coregency is reflected on the bandages of the Ramesseum mummy of Nakhtefmut, which contain the dates "Year 3 [Blank]" and "Year 33 Second Heb Sed" respectively.[16] The "Year 33" date mentioned here almost certainly refers to Osorkon I since Nakhtefmut wore a ring which bore this king's prenomen. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4010.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4010.txt
