The pyramid of king Shebitqo (also rendered Shabataka) at El-Kurru, built for the third king of the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty who reigned approximately 707–690 BCE and was the immediate predecessor of Taharqa. Original base 11 metres per side; original height around 14 metres at a 70° slope. Excavated by George Reisner in 1919. The substructure preserved a granite burial chamber, a stone bench for the king's body, and fragments of canopic jars naming the king. The mortuary chapel on the east face produced relief fragments showing the king offering before Amun. Shebitqo is named in the Hebrew Bible (2 Kings 19:9, Isaiah 37:9) as the Cushite king who sent his army north under Taharqa to relieve the siege of Jerusalem during Sennacherib's campaign of 701 BCE — the same military intervention later credited to Taharqa himself in those passages.
A pyramid for the king whose army may have been the actual force that lifted the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem, in a Bible passage that gave the credit to his successor.
