Beginning of the XXVth dynasty: Alara and his successors
The founder of the XXVth dynasty, alara, was a Nubian ruler who unified Upper Nubia and extended his influence over Upper Egypt. Under his reign and that of his successors, notably Kashta et Piankhy, the XXVth Dynasty consolidated its power in Egypt and sought to restore central authority and political stability.
The Egyptian Renaissance under the XXVth Dynasty
The XNUMXth Dynasty is often considered a period of cultural and religious revival in Egypt. Nubian rulers, such as Chabaka et Shabataka, favored the restoration of many temples and monuments, and encouraged the revival of arts and architecture. This period also saw a resurgence of interest in Egyptian traditions, as evidenced by inscriptions and artistic representations of the time.

The end of the XXVth dynasty and the advent of the XXVIth dynasty

Unfortunately, he could not prevent the fall of Thebes, the capital of the dynasty, in XNUMX BC. J. - C.
