Whm Mswt (or Repetition of Births – Era of the Renaissance). This a period (starting in about year 19 of Ramesses XI) of Ancient Egyptian history[1] at the end of the New Kingdom and the start of the Third Intermediate Period. It marks a final waning of the power of the centralised monarchy, with Ramesses XI still nominally pharaoh, but with Herihor as High Priest of Amun in Thebes and Smendes in Tanis[2].
