Nesbanebdjed II, or in Hellenized form, Smendes II, was a High Priest of Amun at Thebes in Ancient Egypt. He briefly governed from about 992 BC to 990 BC.〔, p.207〕 Smendes was one of the sons of High Priest Menkheperre and Princess Isetemkheb, the daughter of Psusennes I.〔Dodson & Hilton, pp.200-201〕 He married his sister Henuttawy C and had a daughter, Isetemkheb E; another wife, Takhentdjehuti bore him Neskhons, who would be the wife of his brother and successor Pinedjem II.〔〔Aidan Dodson, ''Monarchs of the Nile'', American Univ. in Cairo Press 2000, p.160〕 His pontificate was short and left few traces, missing, for instance from the annals of Egyptian historian Manetho. He is mentioned on an inscription in Karnak, on mummy bandages and on a few bracelets found on the mummy of Psusennes I. Two extra objects bears the name of a ''High Priest of Amun Smendes'' but it is not possible to determine if these refers to Smendes II or the later Smendes III: these are a scribe's palette now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (47.123a–g),〔(Palette inscribed for Smendes, High Priest of Amun, at the MMA )〕〔 and a bronze kneeling statuette exhibited at the Musée Royal de Mariemont (ref. B242).〔Claire Derriks, ''Choix d'œuvres 50'', Égypte. Mariemont, 1990, n.26〕 He was succeeded by his brother Pinedjem II. ==References== 〔 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「Smendes II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
