Psusennes I
Third pharaoh of the 21st Dynasty of Egypt
Psusennes I (Ancient Egyptian: pꜣ-sbꜣ-ḫꜥ-n-njwt; Greek Ψουσέννης) was the third pharaoh of the 21st Dynasty who ruled from Tanis between 1047 and 1001 BC.
Psusennes is the Greek version of his original name Pasibkhanu or Pasebakhaenniut (in reconstructed Late Egyptian: /pəsiwʃeʕənneːʔə/), which means "The Star Appearing in the City" while his throne name, Akheperre Setepenamun, translates as "Great are the Manifestations of Ra, chosen of Amun."[2] He was the son of Pinedjem I and Henuttawy,[citation needed]Ramesses XI's daughter by Tentamun.
He married his sister Mutnedjmet.[3]
Psusennes's tomb, discovered in February 1940,[4] is notable for the condition in which it was found. Almost all pharaonic tombs were entirely graverobbed but Psusennes's tomb was one of only two royal tombs discovered in fully intact condition, the other being the tomb of Pharaoh Amenemope.
