The fifth pharaoh of the Unplaced kings, a.k.a. Petubastis IV
A native pharaoh, probably from the old royal Saite line, who attempted to seize power from the Persian invaders around 520 BC. Excavations in 2015 at the Dakhla Oasis suggest that Petubastis may have had his royal residence there, far from the Nile valley which was under Persian control
