Keys to this period
1) Peace in Egypt ENDS! - Invasion by Persians.
Summary
The invaders eventually were expelled, but Egypt was repeatedly having to deal with Persian invasions over nearly two centuries. The last Persian invasion took place in 343 BC.
The 25th through the 31st Dynasties consisted of the Cushites who ruled from about 767 B.C. until they were ousted by the Assyrians in 671 B.C. Native rule was reestablished early in the 26th Dynasty by Psamtik I. A resurgence of cultural achievement, reminiscent of earlier epochs, reached its height in the 26th Dynasty. When the last Egyptian king was defeated by Cambyses II in 525 B.C., the country entered a period of Persian domination under the 27th Dynasty. Egypt reasserted its independence under the 28th and 29th Dynasties, but the 30th Dynasty was the last one of native rulers. The 31st Dynasty represented the second Persian domination.
