The pharaohs of the Twenty-first Dynasty ruled from Tanis, but were mostly active only in Lower Egypt, which they controlled. This dynasty is described as 'Tanite' because its political capital was based at Tanis. Meanwhile, the High Priests of Amun at Thebes effectively ruled Middle and Upper Egypt in all but name. The later Egyptian Priest Manetho of Sebennytos states in his Epitome on Egyptian royal history that "the 21st Dynasty of Egypt lasted for 130 years".[1] Pharaohs of the 21st Dynasty[edit] Main article: List of pharaohs Pharaoh Image Throne name / Prenomen Reign Burial Consort(s) Comments Smendes / Nesbanebdjed I Hedjkheperre Setepenre 1077 - 1051 BC unknown Tentamun Only controlled Lower Egypt during his reign.
