The Pharaonic one is a dynasty of origin Libya nne (Berbère) which controlled the Egypt surroundings of -945 with -715 in parallel with, and S.

The Libyan , of the tribe of the My (chaouach) (or My ), are already well established in the delta when, with the fall of Psousennès {{II}}, Sheshonq {{Ier}} seizes the power and is made proclaim Pharaon. The kings of this dynasty will place themselves under the protection of the god Amon (visible in particular in their titulature with many Méry-Amon , “liked of Amon”) and will delegate part of their capacities to the Grands priests of Amon to Thèbes. But they also refer to the glorious past represented by Ramsès {{II}}, because of many kings his name of crowning, Ousermaâtrê carry, “powerful is the justice (Maât) of Re”, to start with Sheshonq 1st.

These Libyans will never lose completely their manners of origins: they install in particular strongholds, kinds of Chefferie S, through the delta for the family members royal. The delta émiette thus until a family member founds a parallel dynasty.

Another Libyan tribe, the Libou S, settles in the Western fringe of the delta starting from the medium of the dynasty (under Sheshonq {{III}}). It is probably at the origin of.

One often qualifies this dynasty of “bubastite” (of the town of Bubastis), but although it was the town of origin of the founder of this dynasty, and even if its successors increased there the large temple of Bastet, it seems that the royal palace was always with Tanis (it is there, in any case, that the tombs of the kings of this dynasty are). During this period, the administrative capital remains with Memphis.

The temples which had benefitted from royal generosities under the Nouvel Empire, became essential relays in Egypt, since the deliquescence of the royal capacity at the end of. They took up through the institutional modifications the duty of guarantor of the cosmic order related to the traditional perception of the world. They developed aspects of theology again, such as for example the worships of the gods children, aiming at allowing the renewal of major cycle of the Egyptian universe.

In parallel, they par excellence seem the mediators between men and gods, in the mobility of the development of personal piety. The considerable rise of the worship of the crowned animals falls under these evolutions, just as the official practice of oracle and its diffusion in the private sphere. The Libyans ensure themselves supports it clergies by scrupulously respecting the traditional religious obligations of the royal capacity: they take again a monumental policy in favor of the temples, in particular with Bubastis but also in the large sanctuaries of Karnak, Héliopolis, Hermonthis, Abydos and Tanis, which remains the capital of north.

The art of the period shows the will of the sovereigns to be attached to the size ramesside, as well in architecture as in the monumental sculpture. It develops an art of the bronze of great quality (statue of the divine adoratrice Karomana).
