Keper

Keper was a ruler of the bring of Libya in the prevail of Ramses III (1194-1163 B.C.E.). He faced an invasion of his field and then unified with his foes to assault Egypt. The Meshwesh, a tribe living deep in the Libyan Desert, unified  themselves  with Keper and his son, Meshesher, when they entered his territory. In turn, Keper and the Meshwesh overrun Egypt. They introduced the canal named the Water of Re, in the west Delta. Ramesses III rounded  the  invading  effect and routed them, tracking the foe some 12 miles into the Libyan Desert. Meshesher was fascinated on with 2,052 prisoners, while 2,175 Libyans were slain. A wall text and a ease at Medinet Habu document Kepers supplications for his own life, evidently in vain.
