Y R S A T I S F A C T I O N Egyptian King Osorkon I (Sekhemkheperre-setepenre) Material Color, Limestone Period 22nd dynasty Date 922 – 887 B.C Measurments 16 x 7 cm History The son of Shoshenq I and Queen Karomama, Sekhemkheperre Osorkon I was the second king of Egypt's 22nd Dynasty and ruled around 922 BC-887 BC. He succeeded his father Shoshenq I who died within 2-3 years of his successful 925 BC Biblical campaign against Ancient Israel and Judah.

This date can only belong to Osorkon I since no other early Dynasty 22 king ruled for close to 30 Years until the time of Osorkon II. Other Mummy linens which belong to his reign include 3 separate bandages dating to his Year 11, 12 and 23 on the Mummy of Khonsmaakheru in Berlin.
