Persian Rule: The Achaemenid Dynasty (525-332 BCE)

In the sixth century BCE, the Persian Empire, under the leadership of King Cambyses II, swept across Egypt, bringing with it a new era of foreign rule. The Persians, known for their vast empire and administrative prowess, introduced changes that would leave a lasting impact on Egyptian society.

The Persians respected Egyptian culture and religion, allowing the pharaohs to continue ruling as their vassals. However, they also imposed their own administrative system, dividing the country into satrapies (provinces) and imposing taxes. The Persian period also saw the construction of new temples and monuments, including the Temple of Hibis in the Dakhla Oasis.

Greek Rule: The Ptolemaic Dynasty (332-30 BCE)

In 332 BCE, Alexander the Great, the legendary Macedonian king, conquered Egypt, ushering in a period of Greek rule. Alexander's invasion marked a turning point in Egyptian history, as the country became part of the Hellenistic world, a blend of Greek and Egyptian cultures.

The Ptolemies, Alexander's successors, established a new capital at Alexandria, which became a major center of learning and culture. The Ptolemies also commissioned the construction of magnificent monuments, including the Library of Alexandria, one of the greatest libraries of the ancient world.

Roman Rule: The Roman Empire (30 BCE - 641 CE)

In 30 BCE, Egypt fell under the rule of the Roman Empire, which would endure for over six centuries. The Romans brought with them their own system of government, law, and infrastructure, transforming Egypt into a province of the vast Roman Empire.

The Romans maintained Egypt's status as a major grain producer, supplying the Roman population with wheat and other agricultural products. They also introduced new technologies, such as aqueducts and baths, and encouraged the growth of trade and commerce.
