However, this was to change when a family of local rulers from the city of Sais declared independence from the Assyrian Empire, and in a few short years succeeded in bringing about the reunification of Egypt. The Saites established central government, reformed the economy and promoted trade. The country became prosperous, achieving a pre-eminent role in the Mediterranean world. This is the first monograph devoted entirely to a detailed exploration of the Saite Dynasty. It reveals the dynamic nature of the period, the astuteness of the Saite rulers and their considerable achievements in the political, economic, administrative and cultural spheres. It will appeal not only to students of Egyptology but also, because of the interactions of the Saite Dynasty with the Aegean and Mesopotamia worlds, to anyone interested in ancient history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Campbell Price\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eChronologies\u003cbr\u003e1 Political turmoil and 'Libyan' settlers: setting the scene\u003cbr\u003e2 Nubian and Assyrian invaders\u003cbr\u003e3 Psamtek 'the Great': reunification of Egypt \u003cbr\u003e4 Egypt, a new beginning: foreign relations and internal reforms \u003cbr\u003e5 The heirs of Psamtek I: Nekau II and Psamtek II\u003cbr\u003e6 Haaibra versus Ahmose II: civil war to prosperity\u003cbr\u003e7 Fall of the house of Sais: the last Saite ruler, Psamtek III\u003cbr\u003e8 The Saite era within the history of Pharaonic civilisation\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041001931095,"sku":"9781526140142","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526140142.jpg?v=1750948560","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/egypt-of-the-saite-pharaohs-664-525-bc-9781526140142","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
