Pinedjem II

Pinedjem II (also Pinudjem II) was a High Priest of Amun at Thebes in Ancient Egypt from 990 BC to 969 BC and was the de facto ruler of the south of the country.

Whenh Pinedjem II died, his mummy, along with that of his wives and at least one daughter were laid to rest in the cache at Deir el-Bahri, above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. It was during his reign that the mummies of other previous Theban-based rulers, including the much earlier 18th and 19th dynasty pharaohs Ahmose I, Amenhotep I, Thutmose I, Thutmose II, Thutmose III, Ramesses I, Seti I, Ramesses II, and Ramesses IX, as well as Psusennes II's near contemporary Psusennes I, were gathered together and also laid in this tomb, which was revealed in 1881.
