Horemheb (As Pharaoh) (jan 1, 1308 BC – dec 31, 1296 BC)
Description:
EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard GertouxThere are only two dated inscriptions after Year 14: a decree on a section of wall dated Year [2]5 and a graffito on a fragment of a statue dated year 2752. The ink graffito reads: “Year 27, I Shemu 9, the day53 on which Horemheb, who
loves Amun and hates his enemies, entered the
temple for this event.” The use of Horemheb's
name and the addition of a long Meryamun
(“Beloved of Amun”) epithet in the graffito
suggests a living, eulogised king rather than a long deceased one (Redford: 1973, No. 37 footnote).
