Pinedjem II – pA-nDm II Worker 1 (1)

High priest of Amun

Deir el-Bahri - Cache I - Royal Cache DB320

Pinedjem II was the son of Menkheppera, grandson of Pinedjem I and married to his sister Isetemkheb D and his niece Nesykhonsu. His brother Tjanefer was burried in the Bab el Gasus Cache. In the Cairo Museum I have counted 27 workers and 7 overseers. His shabtis are large and have a deep blue colour, just like the ones for his second wife, Nesykhonsu. Two shabti boxes entered the Egyptian Museum with no. JE 46943 and JE 46942 (also assumed to belong to Pinedjem II). Unfortunately I found no photos and the boxes could not be traced in Cairo.

Pinudjem II was the ruler of Upper Egypt and High Priest of Amun at Thebes from 990-969 B.C. Following the destabilisation which brought the New Kingdom period to a close, Egypt was effectively split into two independent kingdoms, Upper and Lower Egypt, with the former being governed from Thebes by the High Priests of Amun, of whom Pinudjem II was the eighth in succession. Pinudjem II was married to his half-sister Ast-em-Khebit, by whom he had three children, and who was buried alongside Pinudjem II, and also to his niece Nesy-Khonsu, who gave him another four children. Intermarriage of this kind was typical of the period amongst the royal families. For further discussion of the lives of the High Priests of Amun, see A. Dodson, The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt, London, 2004, pp. 196-209.

For an example of one of Pinudjem II's shabtis see G. Janes, Shabtis, a Private View, Paris, 2002, p.78-79, no. 38.
