Summary
Updated 2026-06-09
The last pharaoh to hold Egypt before the Persians rolled through. Amasis II ruled for over four decades in the 6th century BCE, added Cyprus to the map, and marked the end of native Egyptian power that had run for millennia.
Biography
About
Amasis II took the throne in 570 BCE as successor to Apries, ruling from Sais during Egypt's Twenty-sixth Dynasty. He became the first pharaoh since Thutmose III to conquer Cyprus, extending Egyptian reach across the Mediterranean. His reign stretched 44 years, until 526 BCE, and historians mark him as the last great ruler before Persia swept in and ended the old order. What followed was conquest, and Egypt would not see another native dynasty with that kind of weight.
