History of Ancient Egypt: Dynasty XXXI: Persian Empire, Khababash, & Arrival of Alexander the Great

This episode covers the last days of the Achaemenid Persian Empire in Egypt and everything that happened in between. For instance, how did a mysterious, somewhat shadowy figure known as Khababash rise to lead a successful, yet short-lived, native revolt? Why do Greek records fall completely silent during this time, forcing us to piece the story together from scarce Egyptian contracts and a single, critical monument? Perhaps they simply didn't see such events as important, overshadowed by the great watershed moment that was just around the corner: the arrival in Egypt of Alexander the Great. This is an episode that you don't want to miss.
