Aspelta predecessor lost Egypt but he and his descendants, still regarded Egypt as theirs , they couldn't overcome the new Mediterranean powers militarily to make it happen, although they did sponsored turmoils within Egypt from the time of Persian occupied Egypt through Greek and then Roman dominance, while outwardly engaging them in peaceful trade and diplomacy while undermining them secretly.
The new Mediterranean powers on their part recognized the threat, but also realized taking the fight to them would be costly, the Persians found this out followed by the Romans, the Ptolemaic Greeks wisely didn't even bother.
It would take another regional power further south called Axum (today's Eritrea and Ethiopia) to finally bring them to heel, although the environment played it's part.
Side note ,his pyramid at the royal burial site in Nuri is the largest.

"Aspelta predecessor lost Egypt but he and his descendants, still regarded Egypt as theirs" there must have been some basis for them to make this claim......is it possible that Egyptians still considered them to be the rightful rulers or they continued to receive tribute .......  anyone have any detailed info on this ?? perhaps the mainstream historical interpretations off events is incomplete. |
