Some indie should make a movie about this, The Shoshenq Redemption

One of the Shoshenqs has traditionally been assumed to be the Shishak of the Bible (I Kings 14), but Rohl's chronology claimss Shishak was Ramesses, who would have attacked Jerusalem in Rehoboam's reign, as opposed to Yul Brynner competing with Charleton Heston for Anne Baxter.

This situation is known as “The Shoshenq Deception.”

A queen of old Egypt named Cleo
Conducted her loving ‘con brio’.
She felt quite at home in
The arms of a Roman
But preferred to be part of a trio.

Cleopatra killed both of them.
“’twat, did you say?”
You heard me.
“She put them both in the tomb?”
She kept reviving them.

However, why Shoshenq IV might have reused the tomb of Shoshenq III and moved him to the tomb of Osorkon II is unclear.

I am going to guess, Daddy Issues.
