Pinedjem I Facts

The priest Benzoum I, or as some people pronounce his name as Benjem, was the high priest of God AmunEgyptian deities” who was present in the Pharaonic city of Thebes in ancient Egypt. This was in the period between 1070 BC and 1032 BC as in Ancient Egyptian religion.

He was also the de facto ruler for a certain period of Upper Egypt in Egypt, approximately in the year 1054 BC as inGeography of ancient Egypt .

He was also the favorite son of the country’s high priest, Ankh, as some Egyptology and archaeologists believed.

 

How was Binozum’s first ruling for the tribal people in Egypt?

According to a large number of the most important new hypotheses that were previously circulating about the succession that the god Amun assumed in a certain period for the country, the priest Pinedjem I was at that time already very young to be able to assume the succession or rule from his father in the position that he held. At that time, he was the high priest of the god Amun after his death.

Accordingly, a person named King Herihor intervened and then succeeded in taking that pharaonic position in his place.

But after the death of the priest Herihor, the priest Bennozem had asked for the position again because his father, the Pharaonic priest Ankhi, had been the high priest before his death one day..

Pinedjem I leadership

Pinedjem I had inherited both political and religious authority from his father in the city of Thebes “Luxor“, and then he successfully consolidated his control over the rule of both Middle Egypt and the institutes of Upper Egypt..

At the same time, Ankh emphasized his success in achieving independence in his virtual kingdom by assuming the rule of the Twenty-First Dynasty, which was based in the Tanis region..

This Ma’an had also married the ancient Pharaoh Duat Hathor Hant Tawi, and she was the daughter of King Ramesses XITwentieth Egyptian Dynasty, The Ramesside Period“.

He succeeded in strengthening relations with all the Pharaonic families at that time.

He had a son, Psusennes I, who in his youth became a pharaoh in the Tanis region, and this is what succeeded in eliminating the gap that had formed between both families..

His upbringing and life since childhood

In fact, his parents, both Ankhi and Nochmit, had a very large number of children; But until now, only three brothers from Benet and one sister are known to have belonged to the Egyptian priest and pharaoh Benzoum I.
