This topic deserves treatment it is own right, separate from the entry on Shoshenq I. In particular, the name in Hebrew, and the issues raised by David Rohl are better treated here.
Why "Shishaq" and not "Shishak"? Unless the reader understands that the Hebrew only uses /q/, all kinds of misinterpretations can be made, particularly when taking Rohl's views into consideration. --Nefertum17 11:13, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Shishak
I have changed the redirect at Shishak to point here, rather than to Shoshenq I, on the grounds that this will be less confusing to readers. Feel free to discuss the change in this space; please justify it here or at Talk:Shoshenq I if you feel it necessary to revert the change. Chick Bowen 04:46, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
