Resumen
: The interethnic relationships between the Libyan chiefs and the Egyptian State since the XIII century B.C., started from the condition of the Libyan chiefs as seminomadic pastoral groups until their becoming of regional centers’ chiefs and kings of Egypt (XXIV Dynasty). These last conditions where achieved through a process of sedentarization and consolidation of the Libyans in the Egyptian territory.
This situation was the framework of a double process of accomodation between those Libyan chiefs and Egypt: one of military conflict and incorporation into the Egyptian administration; the other, of subordination, domination and finally acknowledgment of them as chiefs in Egypt. Iconographical sources reveal two convergent processes:
first, the transformation and reformulation of the Libyan chiefs’ ethnic identities in the face of their new reality; and second, the weakness of the Egyptian State during the Third Intermediate Period.
