The Kushite king who initiated the invasion of Egypt was Piye, also known as Piankhi, around 750 BCE. He successfully conquered Upper Egypt and established the 25th Dynasty. His successor, Taharqa, completed the conquest and ruled over Egypt, further solidifying Kushite control during his reign.
The twenty-fifth dynasty was significant in history of Egypt because after Piankhi died, his brother Shabaka took control of the kingdom. Then he declared himself a pharaoh (this declaration began the twenty-fifth, or Kushite, Dynasty in Egypt)
Egypt's Ancient Capital.
Piankhi united Egypt and Kush while Taharqa spent his time fighting with the Assyrians.
Piankhi was a prominent king of the 25th Dynasty of Egypt, and Kush refers to the ancient kingdom located to the south of Egypt, primarily in what is now Sudan. Piankhi, originally from Kush, united Egypt under his rule around 740 BCE, marking the height of Kushite influence over Egypt. This connection exemplifies the cultural and political ties between Kush and Egypt during this period, as Kushite rulers often adopted Egyptian customs and governance while also contributing to the rich history of both regions.
Yes, Kush was controlled by Egypt beginning in about 1520 BC. Egypt's control declined over the next 500 years, however.
The twenty-fifth dynasty was significant in history of Egypt because after Piankhi died, his brother Shabaka took control of the kingdom. Then he declared himself a pharaoh (this declaration began the twenty-fifth, or Kushite, Dynasty in Egypt)
The most significant achievement of Piankhi's rule was the reunification of Egypt. He successfully conquered Lower Egypt and asserted his control over the entire kingdom, establishing the 25th Dynasty or the Kushite Dynasty. This marked a significant resurgence of Nubian power and influence in ancient Egypt.
