The Nubian Pharaohs" of the 25th Dynasty ruled with an enlightened benevolence. They were Medicis (patrons of art and literature), rather than Caesars, who awoke Egypt to the artistic and cultural splendor of its own past as they patronized artists, revived lost learning and rebuilt derelict temples.

I hope this answers your question. I received this information from Dr. Alonzo M. Jones. I believe he said that this quote came from the Smithsonian. He has written a children's book about this time as well.

How did pianki's reign differ from that of taharqa in the control of Egypt?

Pianki's reign marked a period of consolidation and expansion for the Kingdom of Kush, emphasizing military campaigns and the establishment of a centralized authority over Egypt. In contrast, Taharqa's rule faced significant challenges, including external pressures from Assyria and internal strife, which limited his control and led to a more defensive posture. While Pianki succeeded in solidifying Kushite dominance over Egypt, Taharqa's reign was characterized by attempts to maintain that control amid increasing instability. Consequently, Pianki is often seen as a more effective ruler in terms of territorial expansion and governance compared to Taharqa.


Who is the fourth Pharaoh of Egypt?

Though historians are not completely sure, it is believed that Anedjib, Enezib who seems to have been from the area around Abydos and is recorded as a Thinite king on theSaqqara King List from the tomb of Thunery, was the 5th ruler of Egypt's 1st Dynasty. Anedjib was this king's Horus name, which means "Safe is His Heart". If he is to be identified with Manetho's Miebidos (Miebis, Merpubia), then he may have ruled Egypt for about 26 years. However, most Egyptologists seem to give him a somewhat shorter reign.


Who conquered Taharqa's armies?
