Family

Karomama was likely a daughter of Pharaoh Takelot I. She was one of three known wives of Osorkon II. The other wives being Isetemkheb G and Djedmutesankh iv.[1]

Karomama was the mother of at least two sons and three daughters:[1][2]

Biography

Osorkon II had many buildings raised during his reign, including a detailed monumental red granite hall in the 22nd year of his reign. Relief images of him and Queen Karomama decorate the walls. Queen Karomama (also known as Karoama B) was also a Royal daughter, but it is unclear which King was her father. As she is not titled Royal Sister, one can assume she was not Takeloth I's daughter, but the lack of the title King's Sister is not conclusive. Other candidates are Shoshenq II or Harsiese. In the Jubilee reliefs, she is accompanied by her three daughters Tashakheper A, Karomama C and [Ta?]iirmer (Year 22).[1]

gollark: I am currently using a moderately old gaming laptop I bought very cheaply used, since it's slightly more repairable than alternatives and quite performant.
gollark: Since their SoCs are actually really very good now, my main objection is that the hardware is unrepairable and MacOS is bad.
gollark: There are no "too powerful" computers.
