26th Dynasty

In fact, it was believed that the kings belonging to the Egyptian Twenty-Sixth Dynasty were actually or roughly descended from the Egyptian 24th Dynasty..

Egyptologists “Egyptology” and researchers believe that perhaps King Psamtik I was one of the descendants who belonged to the rule of King Ba-kun-re..

And after the end of all those Assyrian invasions that had occurred and ended during the reign of both King Taharqa and king Tantamani of the 25th Dynasty of Egypt, his grandfather had recognized him so that he would then become the sole and only king in ruling the country and all of Egypt..

How were they able to impose their control over the country?

In fact, according to what was proven by the research and studies that were conducted during that period of time in Egypt, and the preoccupation of the kings and rulers in the era of the Assyrian state with the Revolutions in Ancient Egypt against them and the civil war that was spreading throughout the country against them, they had lost almost all the control that urged them to The throne

Accordingly, King Psammetich I took advantage of that period of the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty of Egypt and then succeeded in cutting all his ties to the rule of the Assyrians, and at that time he concluded a group of large alliances with King Gyges, who was the king of Lydia at that time..

Then, with his intelligence, he was able to strengthen the army Military of ancient Egypt by carrying out large and extensive recruitment operations for a number of mercenaries coming from both Korea and Greece, and the purpose of bringing them was his success in resisting the various Assyrian raids..

That destruction, which occurred in 612 BC. And then what happened after him was the great and final fall of the Assyrian state. King Psamtik I, along with all his successors, tried to once again extend all their influence over Egypt within the eastern region, as in the Geography of ancient Egypt.

However, despite their desperate attempts to do so, they were later repelled by the masses of Babylonians who were at that time led by the valiant Nebuchadnezzar II..

But after that, with the help of the masses of these Greek mercenaries, the king and Hubbara were able to succeed in repelling and repelling the attempts of the masses of these Babylonians to invade Egypt. But despite this, the Persians were the soldiers who were able to invade Egypt at that time.
