Nimlot A was a ''Great Chief of the Ma'' during the 21st Dynasty of ancient Egypt. He is mainly known for being the father of the founder of the 22nd Dynasty, pharaoh Shoshenq I. ==Biography== Nimlot A was a son of the ''Great Chief of the Ma'' Shoshenq A and of the ''King's mother'' Mehtenweskhet A, and thus a full-brother of the 21st Dynasty pharaoh Osorkon the Elder. His wife was Tentsepeh A by whom he had a son, Shoshenq B who later became pharaoh (Shoshenq I): for this reason Nimlot and Tentsepeh were posthumously called ''God's father'' and ''God's mother''. It is probable that the couple also had a daughter, Mehtenweskhet B, who married the High Priest of Ptah Shedsu-nefertum.〔Kenneth Kitchen, ''The Third Intermediate Period in Egypt (1100–650 BC)'', 1996, Aris & Phillips Limited, Warminster, ISBN 0-85668-298-5, §§ 85, 88, 90, 239, 437.〕 When Nimlot A died, his son Shoshenq inherited the title of ''Great Chief of the Ma''; Shoshenq obtained by pharaoh Psusennes II the permission to build at Abydos a great dedicatory inscription in honor of his father. Nimlot A and Tentsepeh A are also mentioned in the genealogy reported on the stela of Pasenhor.〔 Shoshenq A = Mehtenweskhet A unknown chief | | +--------+--------+ +----------+ | | | Osorkon the Elder Nimlot A = Tentsepeh A | +-------------+ | | Shoshenq I Mehtenweskhet B = Shedsu-nefertum 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nimlot A」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
