Known rulers, in the History of Egypt, for the Twenty-Second Dynasty.
The Twenty-First, Twenty-Second, Twenty-Third, Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Dynasties of ancient Egypt are often combined under the group title, Third Intermediate Period.
The Twenty-Second Dynasty ruled between 945 BC or 943 BC and 720 BC. Their kings were Meshwesh Libyans, who had settled in Egypt since the Twentieth Dynasty. Manetho states that the dynasty originated at Bubastis, but the kings almost certainly ruled from Tanis, which was their capital and the city where they were buried.

The so-called Twenty-Third Dynasty obviously was an Upper Egyptian offshoot of this Dynasty. All of its kings reigned in Middle and Upper Egypt including the Dakhla Oasis where Year 13 of Takelot III is now attested on a hieratic donation stela. Another Dynasty 22 king is Tutkheperre Shoshenq whose precise position in this Kingdom is currently uncertain.
