Pinedjem I«/b» was the «u»High Priest of Amun at Thebes «/u» in «u»Ancient Egypt «/u» from «u»1070 BC «/u» to «u»1032 BC «/u» and the «i»de facto«/i» ruler of the south of the country from 1054 BC. He was the son of the High Priest «u»Piankh «/u». However, many Egyptologists today believe that the succession in the Amun priesthood actually ran from Piankh to Herihor to Pinedjem I.«u»[1][2]«/u» According to the new hypothesis, Pinedjem I was too young to succeed to the High Priesthood of Amun after the death of Piankh. Herihor instead intervened to assume to this office. After Herihor's death, Pinedjem I finally claimed this office which had once been held by his father Piankh. This interpretation is supported by the decorations from the «u»Temple of Khonsu «/u» at «u»Karnak«/u» where Herihor's wall reliefs here are immediatedly followed by those of Pinedjem I with no intervening phase for Piankh and also by the long career of Pinedjem I who served as High Priest of Amun and later as king at Thebes.
He inherited a political and religious base of power at Thebes. Pinedjem strengthened his control over both Middle and Upper Egypt and asserted his kingdom's virtual independence from the «u»Twenty-first Dynasty «/u» based at «u»Tanis«/u». He married «u»Duathathor-Henuttawy «/u», the «u»Royal Daughter «/u» of «u»Ramesses XI «/u», to cement his relations with the other powerful families of the period. Their son, «u»Psusennes I «/u», went on to become «u»Pharaoh «/u» at Tanis, thereby removing at a stroke the gap between the two families. In practice, however, the 21st dynasty kings and the Theban high priests were probably never very far apart politically since they respected each other's political autonomy.
Around Year 15 or 16 of «u»Smendes «/u», Pinedjem I proclaimed himself pharaoh over Upper Egypt«u»[3]«/u» and his priestly role was inherited by his two sons «u»Masaharta «/u» and «u»Menkheperre «/u». His daughter, «u»Maatkare «/u», held the position of «u»Divine Adoratrice of Amun «/u».
Pinedjem's «u»mummy «/u» was found in the «u»cache «/u» at «u»Deir el-Bahri «/u».
