History of Ancient Egypt: Dynasty XXVII - First Achaemenid Persian Period and Greek Interventions

Egypt’s 27th Dynasty was unlike any that came before it. For the first time in its long history, Egypt was ruled not by native pharaohs, but by a foreign empire - the Achaemenid Persians. Beginning with Cambyses’ conquest in 525 BC, Persian rulers claimed the throne of Egypt, presenting themselves as traditional pharaohs while maintaining their vast empire that stretched from the Aegean to the Indus. But what was life like under Persian rule? Did the Achaemenids bring stability and prosperity, or was this a time of foreign domination and resistance? From Cambyses’ controversial reign to Darius I’s administrative reforms and the rebellions that followed, we’ll explore the complexities of this pivotal period.
