King Shashanq the First descended from Libyan origins, and he was one of the Libyan soldiers who were employed in the Egyptian army and their determination in Egypt at the end of the era of the modern state in the Egyptian delta region, and King Shashanak I is the founder of the twenty-second Libyan family or the Popastian family, as it is called by the famous Egyptian historian Manitoun al-Samanudi, in relation to the Tel Basta region in which they lived in the eastern delta in the Nile River delta, and the family ruled from the Tanis region in the eastern delta
And the book "The Pharaohs of Warriors ... Diplomats and Military" says by Dr. Hussein Abdel-Basir, the rule of Shashanq I from 945 to 924 before the birth of Jesus, peace be upon him, and he was known as Shashanq Maram Amon Hekhaa was the news of Ra Step St if Ra, and it was the beginning of the insane Libyan branch that He ruled Egypt for a period of two hundred years, and King Shashank I linked himself to the previous family by marrying the daughter of the previous king, Busines II, and further strengthened the position of King Shashank I that he came from a military background, as he was the supreme commander of all Egyptian armies.
The inscriptions coming from the Thebes or present-day Luxor area indicate him as the great leader of the Libyan tribe of Al-Mushwish, who was appointed by the Libyan tribes as an internal police force. In order to show himself as an Egyptian pharaoh capable of ruling Egypt, he took for himself several royal titles such as his predecessors from the former kings of Egypt, and specifically took for himself the titles of his predecessor, King Samandus, who preceded him about a hundred years ago.
Dr. Hussein Abdel-Basir explained that King Shashanq I was a powerful ruler who unified Egypt divided into two governing cities: the first in Tanis in the eastern delta in the north, and the other in Thebes in the south, in one unified country under his ruling authority, and it was smart when he appointed Many of his sons were in important and sensitive positions in the state, and he gathered in his hands between the religious and civil authority and in one person when he appointed his son Prince Ebot as the ruler of Upper Egypt or Upper Egypt, and at the same time, appointed him as chief priest of the god Amon and in the position of supreme commander of all Egyptian armies Another son of King Shashanq I, Prince Jed Ptah Iov Ankh, supported his brother Abbot religiously when he took for himself the position of the third priest of the god Amon, and a third son of King Shashank I, Prince Nimlut, played a major military role when he assumed the position of commander The military in the area of Herakliopolis or Ihnasia the city in Beni Suef, and it represented an important military garrison and had a great role in securing the area from Thebes to the far south of the country, and in a safe and controlling position as well in the country internally, King Shashank I had to go to none Dr. Al-Sham to search for, preserve, and return the properties of the ancient Egyptian empire in the countries of the ancient Near East to Egyptian control withdrawing from there after the end of the era of the modern state, the era of the great warriors pharaohs, the last of whom was the great warrior King Ramesses III.

The book "The Pharaohs of Warriors" added that after the death of King Solomon, both the kingdoms of Judea and Israel under the rule of Rehavam Ibn Solomon and Jeroboam I were attacked by the strong Egyptian military attack led by King Shashanak I, or King Sheshaq as the Torah calls it, and defeated the Egyptian king Shashanak the first of the two kingdoms evil Defeat in the year 925 before the birth of Jesus, peace be upon him, in a military campaign that you have not seen the land of Palestine like since the days of the great warrior King Ramesses III, the last great pharaohs of Egypt.
The story returns at the beginning, as reviewed by the book "The Pharaohs of Warriors", when King Shashanak I moved against the Kingdom of Judea, which Rehobam was ruling, and reached the ancient walls of Jerusalem. Pharaoh Shashanq the First besieged the city but did not enter it because it was given "all the treasures of the Lord's house, and the treasures of the king's house, until he took everything, and took all the golden shields that Solomon made" as the Torah recalls in the Book of Kings. Shashang the First took all of Solomon's treasures, except for the Holy Ark, then the Pharaoh went to Israel, tracing Jeroboam who fled to Jordan. Shashanq I stopped in Megiddo, the same place where the famous pharaoh, King Thamtis III, the great, fought and triumphed about five centuries ago, and set up a victory board there so that Shashank I immortalized his victory in these lands as he did his predecessors from the great Pharaohs warriors.
The pharaoh Shashanq I photographed his victory on the walls of the temple of his Lord, Amon, in Thebes, in southern Egypt. Nubian sandstone quarries were reopened in Jabal As-Silsilah, Aswan, to supply the stones needed for construction. Ipot, the high priest of the god Amon, was the supervisor of these construction works. A new great courtyard was built in front of the second edifice of the Karnak temples, and the wall of the southern outer courtyard was decorated with a huge view of the victorious King Shashanq I thanks to his Lord God Amon, and the scene shows many prisoners falling due to the overwhelming power of the pharaoh, as well as the captive cities that were subject to the authority of His Majesty The Pharaoh Shashanaq I.
The book pointed out that although King Shashanak I was of Libyan origin, he lived in Egypt and was raised in the land of Egypt and learned Egyptian culture and joined the Egyptian army, married to the daughter of the former Egyptian king on him, and took over the rule of Egypt, so he performed an impressive military and political performance like any An Egyptian pharaoh imitated his predecessors from the great pharaohs kings especially his great predecessor King Tuthmosis III, and restored the glory of the Egyptian empire to the countries of the ancient Near East after the Egyptian presence disappeared since the end of the era of the modern state and the end of the era of the great warrior pharaoh King Ramses III.
King Shashanaq the First was a high-ranking Egyptian warrior who lived in a turbulent period in the countries of the ancient East, and during his reign, Egypt returned to exercise its leadership and pioneering role in the region as a military force without dust thanks to the courage and courage of the Pharaoh Shashanaq the First and the greatness of Egypt's fighters.
