PIANKHI. Surnamed
Mer-Amen.
A king of Ethiopia, who held Egypt under his control at the close of the
XXIInd dynasty, at which time the kingdom was divided into thirteen petty
principalities. In the twenty-first year of his reign Tafnekht, king
of Menouthes, and commander of the troops, incited the whole of the
confederate princes to revolt, which they did, entrenching themselves
under the charge of Prince Namrut in the city of Hermopolis. This
city Piankhi reduced by a sharp blockade, and then advanced to Memphis,
which still held out. After a savage siege Piankhi reduced the
capital, and then received tribute and honour from the priests and the
rebels. Tafnekht escaped to Cyprus, whence he sent his submission to
the king. After this Piankhi was allowed to enter the most sacred
shrines of the deities Ra and Tum, and returned to Thebes with great power
and glory. He was remarkable for his great veneration of the deity
Amen, and for his clemency to the conquered. The length of his reign
and the time of his death are unrecorded. The stele recording the
victories of Piankhi is one of the longest historical documents of ancient
Egypt.
Piankhi II., a king of Ethiopia. He
succeeded Amen-meri-nut, and married the princess Amen-iritis, the sister
of Shabaka, who had been regent of Egypt under the reigns of his
predecessors. He was completely subordinate to her, and was
succeeded by his son-in-law, Psametik I.
Piankhi III., surnamed Ra-user-ma, a king of the
XXIInd dynasty who is only known from his statuette in the Museum of the
Louvere, in which he is called a "Son of Bast" and an Erpa,
or hereditary prince, apparently by virtue of his marriage with a princess
of the Bubastite dynasty.

of Her-hor-si-amun in the XXIst dynasty.
