However, its situation was about to change. This is an account of how a family of local rulers from the town of Sais declared independence from the Assyrian Empire and brought about reunification. They established central government, reformed the economy and promoted trade. Egypt soon became prosperous, achieving a pre-eminent role in the Mediterranean world. The book 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. 410 0$aManchester scholarship online. 607 $aEgypt$xForeign relations$xHistory 607 $aEgypt$xKings and rulers 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$yTo 332 B.C 610 $aAncient Egypt. 610 $aCulture. 610 $aDiplomacy. 610 $aKushite. 610 $aMediterranean. 610 $aMercenaries. 610 $aPsamtek I. 610 $aReunification. 610 $aSaite. 610 $aTrade. 676 $a932 700 $aForshaw$b Roger$01511367 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793501603321 996 $aEgypt of the Saite pharaohs, 664-525 BC$93775629 997 $aUNINA
