Hedjkheperre Setepenre Shoshenq (VII/VIa) Si-Ese Meryamun may have been an
Egyptian king of the
23rd Dynasty, ruling
Thebes in the period between the death of
Takelot III and the Egyptian campaign of the Nubian king
Piye, c. 755–730 BCE.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The length of his reign has been estimated variously as between five and twenty-five years. He is poorly attested (Karnak Nile Level Text NLT 3 of year 5 and NLT 45 of year 17, 18 or 25), and his existence remains a matter of some dispute, but is supported by leading experts on the
Third Intermediate Period such as Gerard Broekman and
Kenneth Kitchen.
