Lista de Personas Famosas llamadas Shoshenq

Sheshonq I o Hedyjeperra Setepenra Sheshonq Meryamón, príncipe de Heracleópolis, fue un faraón de origen bereber de la tribu libia de los Mashauash. Fundador de la dinastía XXII de Egipto, su llegada al trono se ha tomado como inicio del calendario bereber creado por el especialista en cultura bereber Ammar Negadi y publicado a partir de 1980. La mayoría de los egiptólogos sitúan su reinado entre 945 y el 924 a. C., durante el Tercer periodo intermedio de Egipto, sin embargo estas fechas han sido revisadas recientemente de 943 a. C. a 922a. C., por algunos especialistas, entre ellos Erik Hornung, Rolf Krauss puesto que Sheshonq I habría vivido durante dos o tres años después de la campaña que terminó con éxito en Canaán, tradicionalmente datadaen 925 a. C.; si bien esta datación depende exclusivamente de los textos bíblicos.

Shoshenq C was the eldest son of the 22nd Dynasty pharaoh Osorkon I and queen Maatkare, the daughter of Psusennes II, and served as the High Priest of Amun at Thebes during his father's reign. Consequently, he was the most important official in Upper Egypt after the king himself. He has generally been equated with Heqakheperre Shoshenq II by the English Egyptologist Kenneth Kitchen and viewed as a short-lived co-regent to his father based on the Nile God British Museum statue 8 which identifies him as the son of Osorkon I and Queen Maatkare, daughter of Hor-Psusennes but this assumption is unproven. In the statue, Shoshenq C is called "the Master of the Two Lands" and the formula "beloved of Amun" is enclosed within a royal cartouche. However, in the text of the statue, he is not given a specific throne name or prenomen, the use of a cartouche by a royal prince is attested in other periods of Egyptian history such as that of Amenmes, son of Thutmose I, and the documents depicts Shoshenq C as a simple High Priest of Amun on the side of the legs of the Nile God, rather than a king.
