Excerpt from Books on Egypt Anb Gbalbaea a History of Egypt From the End of the Neolithic Period to the Death of Cleopatra VII, Vol. 6: B. C. 30, Egypt Under the Priest-Kings and Tanites and Nubians
The period of Egyptian History treated in the present volume begins with the reign of Nes-ba-Tettet, the first king of the XXIst Dynasty from Tanis, and ends with that of Psammotichus II., the third king of the XXVIth Dynasty, and the narrative describes the principal events which took place in-Egypt and the various portions of her Empire from about B.C. 1100 to b.c. 600. It includes the reigns of a number of kings under whose rule the power of Egypt declined and her Empire shrank, and in whose time the various hereditary foes of Egypt succeeded in obtaining their independence. In spite of this, however, we find that the Northern kingdom of Egypt made itself very powerful, and it is interesting to note how this came to pass, viz., by the aid of foreign soldiers and sailors. With the close of the XXVth Dynasty the New Empire came to an end, and the period of Egyptian Renaissance began. Under Shashanq I. the feeble kingdoms of the South and North were once more united, and a Libyan monarch occupied the throne of the Pharaohs.
