supports: Kenneth Anderson Kitchen (born in 1932) is a British Bible scholar, Ancient Near Eastern historian, and Personal and Brunner Professor Emeritus of Egyptology and Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology, University of Liverpool, England. He is one of the leading experts on the ancient Egyptian Ramesside Period (i.e., Dynasties 19-20), and the Third Intermediate Period, as well as ancient Egyptian chronology, having written over 250 books and journal articles on these and other subjects since the mid-1950s. He has been described by "The Times" as "the very architect of Egyptian chronology". Eusebius of Caesarea ("Eusébios";  260/265  339/340), also known as Eusebius Pamphili, was a Greek historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian polemicist. He became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima about 314 AD. Together with Pamphilus, he was a scholar of the Biblical canon and is regarded as an extremely well learned Christian of his time. He wrote "Demonstrations of the Gospel", "Preparations for the Gospel", and "On Discrepancies between the Gospels", studies of the Biblical text. As "Father of Church History" he produced the "Ecclesiastical History", "On the Life of Pamphilus", the "Chronicle" and "On the Martyrs". Egypt (; ', , "Kimi"), officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia by a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is a Mediterranean country bordered by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba to the east, the Red Sea to the east and south, Sudan to the south, and Libya to the west. Across the Gulf of Aqaba lies Jordan, and across from the Sinai Peninsula lies Saudi Arabia, although Jordan and Saudi Arabia do not share a land border with Egypt. It is the world's only contiguous Afrasian nation. Shepsesre Tefnakht (in Greek known as Tnephachthos) was a prince of Sais and founder of the relatively short Twenty-fourth dynasty of Egypt; he rose to become a Chief of the Ma in his home city. He is thought to have reigned roughly 732 BCE to 725 BCE, or 7 years. Tefnakht I first began his career as the "Great Chief of the West" and Prince of Sais and was a late contemporary of the last ruler of the 22nd dynasty: Shoshenq V. Tefnakht I was actually the second ruler of Sais; he was preceded by Osorkon C, who is attested by several documents mentioning him as this city's Chief of the Ma and Army Leader, according to Kenneth Kitchen, while his predecessor as Great Chief of the West was a man named Ankhhor. A recently discovered statue, dedicated by Tefnakht I to Amun-Re, reveals important details about his personal origins. The statue's text states that Tefnakht was the son of a certain Gemnefsutkapu and the grandson of Basa, a priest of Amun near Sais. Consequently, Tefnakht was not actually descended from a line of Chiefs of the Ma and Libu tribes as traditionally believed but rather came from a family of priests. Sextus Julius Africanus (c. 160  c. 240) was a Christian traveler and historian of the late second and early third centuries. He is important chiefly because of his influence on Eusebius, on all the later writers of Church history among the Church Fathers, and on the whole Greek school of chroniclers. Bakenranef , known by the ancient Greeks as Bocchoris , was briefly a king of the Twenty - fourth dynasty of Egypt . Based at Sais in the western Delta , he ruled Lower Egypt from c. 725 to 720 BC. Though the Ptolemaic period Egyptian historian Manetho considers him the sole member of the Twenty - fourth dynasty , modern scholars include his father Tefnakht in that dynasty . Although Sextus Julius Africanus quotes Manetho as stating that `` Bocchoris '' ruled for six years , some modern scholars again differ and assign him a shorter reign of only five years , based on evidence from an Apis Bull burial stela . It establishes that Bakenranef 's reign ended only at the start of his 6th regnal year which , under the Egyptian dating system , means he had a reign of 5 full years . Bakenranef 's prenomen or royal name , Wahkare , means `` Constant is the Spirit of Re '' in Egyptian . Manetho is the source for two events from Bakenranef 's reign . The first is the story that a lamb uttered the prophecy that Egypt would be conquered by the Assyrians , a story later repeated by such classical authors as Claudius Aelianus ( De Natura Animalis 12.3 ) . The second was that Bakenranef was captured by Shabaka , a king of the Twenty - fifth dynasty , who executed Bakenrenef by having him burned alive . A Kushite king , Shabaka extended his rule over the whole of Egypt , which had been split since the Twenty - first dynasty . Diodorus Siculus , writing about three centuries after Manetho , adds some different details . Diodorus states that although Bakenranef was `` contemptible in appearance '' , he was wiser than his predecessors ( 1.65 ) . The Egyptians attributed to him a law concerning contracts , which provided for a way to discharge debts where no bond was signed ; it was observed down to Diodorus ' time ( 1.79 ) . For this , and other acts , Diodorus included `` Bocchoris '' as one of the six most important lawgivers of ancient Egypt . For a minor kinglet briefly in control of the Nile Delta , this is an unexpectedly prominent ranking : `` He was a surprising choice , '' Robin Lane Fox observes , `` Perhaps some Greeks , unknown to us , had had close dealings with him ; from his reign we have scarab - seals bearing his Egyptian name , one of which found its way into a contemporary Greek grave on Ischia up near the Bay of Naples . '' Ischia was the earliest of eighth - century Greek colonies in Italy . The Roman historian Tacitus mentions that many Greek and Roman writers thought he had a part in the origin of the Jewish nation : Most writers , however , agree in stating that once a disease , which horribly disfigured the body , broke out over Egypt ; that king Bocchoris , seeking a remedy , consulted the oracle of Hammon , and was bidden to cleanse his realm , and to convey into some foreign land this race detested by the gods . The people , who had been collected after diligent search , finding themselves left in a desert , sat for the most part in a stupor of grief , till one of the exiles , Moses by name , warned them not to look for any relief from God or man , forsaken as they were of both , but to trust to themselves , taking for their heaven - sent leader that man who should first help them to be quit of their present misery . They agreed , and in utter ignorance began to advance at random . Nothing , however , distressed them so much as the scarcity of water , and they had sunk ready to perish in all directions over the plain , when a herd of wild asses was seen to retire from their pasture to a rock shaded by trees . Moses followed them , and , guided by the appearance of a grassy spot , discovered an abundant spring of water . This furnished relief . After a continuous journey for six days , on the seventh they possessed themselves of a country , from which they expelled the inhabitants , and in which they founded a city and a temple Despite the importance implied by these writers , few contemporary records of Bakenranef have survived . The chief inscription of his reign concerns the death and burial of an Apis bull during Years 5 and 6 of his reign ; the remainder are a few stelae that Auguste Mariette recovered while excavating the Serapeum in Saqqara . Shabaka deposed and executed Bakenranef by burning him alive at the stake and buried the Bull in his own Year 2 ( 720 BC ) while campaigning in Lower Egypt . This effectively ended the short - lived 24th Dynasty of Egypt as a potential rival to the Nubian 25th Dynasty . Aakheperre Shoshenq V was a pharaoh of the late 22nd Dynasty. Lower Egypt ("") is the northernmost region of Egypt: the fertile Nile Delta, between Upper Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea  from El Aiyat, south of modern-day Cairo, and Dahshur. Manetho is believed to have been an Egyptian priest from Sebennytos (ancient Egyptian: "Tjebnutjer") who lived during the Ptolemaic era in the early 3rd century BC. The Libu (R'bw, Ribou, Labu) were an Ancient Libyan tribe of an Amazigh origin, from which the name "Libya" derives. The Nile ( "en-Nl",  "an-Nl" "P(h)iaro"; Ancient Egyptian: "'p" and "Iteru"; Biblical Hebrew: , "Ha-Ye'or") is a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa. It is generally regarded as the longest river in the world, however other conflicting sources cite a 2007 study that gave the title to the Amazon River in South America. The Nile, which is 6,853 km (4,258 miles) long, is an "international" river as its water resources are shared by eleven countries, namely, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Congo-Kinshasa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt. In particular, the Nile is the primary water source of Egypt and Sudan.
