The monuments of the XXth dynasty are characterized by coarseness of work and lack of finish, but the inscriptions on them are of considerable value linguistically. Among large objects may be mentioned the =granite coffin of Setau=, a governor of the Sûdân (Bay 19, No. =720=); the =libation basin= (Bay 19, No. =722=); the seated figures of =Ȧmen-Rā and Mut= (Bay 18, No. =728=); the stele of =Pai=, comptroller of a chief queen (Bay 22, No. =752=); and the shrine of =Ȧmen-em-ḥeb=, a scribe of the king’s bowmen (Bay 17, No. =754=). Twenty-First Dynasty. B.C. 1050 (?) KINGS OF TANIS. =Nessu-ba-neb-Ṭeṭ (Smendes).= =Pasebkhānut I.= =Ȧmen-em-Ȧpt.= =Sa-Ȧmen.= =Pasebkhānut II.= PRIEST-KINGS OF THEBES. =Ḥer-Ḥeru.= =Paiānkh.= =Painetchem I.= =Painetchem II.= =Masaherth.= =Men-kheper-Rā.= =Painetchem III.= The reigns of all these kings are historically of little importance. As soon as =Ḥer-Ḥeru= had proclaimed himself king at Thebes, he assumed a series of titles indicating that he was the temporal as well as spiritual head of Egypt. One of the chief works carried out by the priest-kings was in connexion with the repair and =removal of the royal mummies= from their tombs to places of safety. The mummies of Seti I and Rameses II were removed from tomb to tomb, but the pillaging continued, and we read that many of the royal mummies required to be repaired, re-swathed, and provided with new coffins. The rule of the priest-kings was not successful, and several serious riots seem to have occurred at Thebes through their neglect of the temporal affairs of the country. One of the most important objects of the reign of Ḥer-Ḥeru is the copy of the =Book of the Dead= which was written for his wife =Queen Netchemet=; an important portion of it was presented to the British Museum by HIS MAJESTY THE KING in 1903, and this is exhibited in the Southern Egyptian Gallery, No. =758= (see =Plates I= and =XLI=). The vignettes are very fine examples of the work of the period, and the texts contain interesting hymns to Rā and Osiris, and a valuable version of one of the most important sections of the Book of the Dead, viz., Chapter XVII. This papyrus was found at Thebes. A number of =ushabtiu= figures, inscribed with the names of =Nesi-Khensu=, =Ḥent-taui=, the =Painetchems=, =Maāt-ka-Rā=, and other members of the families of the priest-kings, will be found in Wall-cases 153, 154, in the Fourth Egyptian Room. The largest monument of this dynasty in the British Museum is a =lintel= from a temple of =Sa-Ȧmen= at Memphis (No. =1170=). In the First Egyptian Room are exhibited several very fine mummies and coffins belonging to the period of this dynasty, and in the Second Room several typical examples of =ushabtiu figures= and =boxes=, which illustrate the funerary art of the period. The monuments of the Tanite kings are few and unimportant.
