Cambyses

ECambyses was the second emperor of the larger Achaemenid Empire, as well as a pharaoh of the 27th Dynasty (First Persian Domination), from 530 to 522 B.C. He succeeded Cyrus the Great as emperor of Persia, and ruled Egypt with Psamtik I as governor. He was succeeded by Darius I. In the traditional history, he is considered to have conquered Egypt into submission in 525 B.C., but this is not so.

Cambyses was the son of Cyrus (II), son of Cambyses (I), son of Cyrus (I). He did not have any sons important to the revised history.

From 543 to 525 B.C., Psamtik I attempted to restore Egypt to its former glory with the help of many Egyptian and Persian officials, including Petisi I, Samtoutefnakht, Mentuemhet, and Udjahorresne. After eighteen years of restoration, it was considered to be completed. To remind the people who was truly ruler of Egypt, Cambyses came in 525 B.C., as well as to evaluate whether further renovation was needed. He did not come as a conqueror, as is believed in the traditional history. The rest of his rule was relatively uneventful, at least in Egypt.
