Shepenupet I - divine wife of Amon, daughter of Osorkona III and Karoaczet. Sister Takelot III and Rudyamon. The office was held between 754-714 BC. In the early years of Takelot III, she shared with him the royal authority and at the same time served as the great priest of Amon in Thebes. During the rise of the importance of the Kushite rulers, he was probably forced to adopt Amenardis, the daughter of the ruler of Kashubian Kasha, who was also the father of Pharaoh Pianchi. The gradual growth of the meaning of the divine spouses, royal daughters, their political influence on the rulers, the great possessions they possess, and the control over the most important temples of Egypt have made them one of the leading roles, alongside the ruler, in dynastic politics and exercising real power. It also limits the importance of the high priests of Amon in Thebes. My own name - Sheepupupet Beloved by Mut
Thrones - The one that embraces the heart of Amon
