Iuwelot or Iuwlot was a High Priest of Amun at Thebes and military commander during the reign of pharaohs Osorkon I and Takelot I of the 22nd Dynasty. ==Biography== As a son of Osorkon I, Iuwelot was brother of his predecessor Shoshenq C, of his successor Smendes III and of his contemporary king Takelot I. His earliest mention is on the so-called ''Stèle de l'apanage'', from which is known that Iuwelot was a youth in Year 10 of Osorkon I. His name appears later as High Priest of Amun on a Nile Level Text at Karnak (no. 16), dating to a Year 5 of an unknown pharaoh. Scottish Egyptologist Kenneth Kitchen argued that this king could not be Osorkon I, since it would implied that Iuwelot was already ''High Priest'' and ''Army commander of the South'' very early in his life; Kitchen thought it was much more likely that the unnamed pharaoh was Takelot I, and thus that Iuwelot must have been around 40 years old when he was appointed with such titles.〔Kitchen, op. cit., § 89; 96; 157.〕 On the ''Stèle de l'apanage'' is reported that the northern limit of his jurisdiction as a military commander was the province of Asyut.〔 Iuwelot's name appears also on other two Nile Level Texts (no. 20 and 21), but the name and regnal year of the king in question was deliberately omitted, although he could only have been Takelot I again.〔Kitchen, op. cit., § 270.〕 This practice, which was continued by Iuwelot's brother and successor Smendes III, might suggest a sort of dispute in Upper Egypt in the succession following the death of Osorkon I, due to which the two priests may not have had the chance to take sides in favor of their brother.〔Gerard Broekman, "The Nile Level Records of the Twenty-Second and Twenty-Third Dynasties in Karnak", ''Journal of Egyptian Archaeology'' 88 (2002), pp. 170–173.〕 He was succeeded by Smendes III around the mid-reign of Takelot.〔Kitchen, op. cit., § 157.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iuwelot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
