Psusennes III

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Psusennes III
Pasebakhaennuit III
High Priest of Amun
Reign 976–943? BC,  Concurrent with the 21st Dynasty
Predecessor Pinedjem II
Successor Iuput

Psusennes III was the High Priest of Amun at Thebes (1080943 BC) at the end of the 21st Dynasty. Little is known of this individual; he is thought by some to be the same person as (King) Psusennes II.[1] His name appears on a document found at the 'mummy cache' DB320 which describes him as a son of the High Priest Pinedjem II. This makes him a possible candidate for Psusennes II because Pinedjem II died in Year 10 of Siamun, who was the immediate predecessor of this Pharaoh.
