Osorkon The Elder - Osorkon's Time-line

Osorkon's Time-line

Based on a calculation of the aforementioned Year 2 lunar date of this king—which Rolf Krauss in an astronomical calculation has shown to correspond to 990 BC—Osochor must have become king 2 years before the induction of Nespaneferhor in 992 BC.

Osorkon the Elder's reign is significant because it foreshadows the coming the Libyan Twenty-second dynasty. He is credited with a reign of six years in Manetho's Aegyptiaca and was succeeded in power by Siamun, who was either Osochor's son or an unrelated native Egyptian.
