Egypt (Third Intermediate and Late Period)

1069 BC – 525 BC · peak 650 BC

After the collapse of the New Kingdom in 1069 BC, Egypt entered the Third Intermediate and Late periods, marked by Libyan, Kushite and Saite dynasties. The Nubian Twenty-fifth Dynasty temporarily reunified the country and restored traditional monumental practices. Egypt was later conquered by the Assyrians and Achaemenids, before Alexander's Macedonian conquest in 332 BC.
