Late Period
The "Late Period" refers to a specific era in ancient Egyptian history, spanning from approximately 664 to 332 BCE. This period is characterized by the resurgence of traditional Egyptian culture and art after the Assyrian and Persian invasions. It saw the establishment of the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty, which is known for its strong pharaohs and significant architectural projects.
During the Late Period, Egypt experienced a revival in religious practices and the construction of temples, such as the Temple of Karnak. The era also marked increased foreign influence, particularly from Greece and Persia, leading to a blend of cultural elements that shaped the region's history until the arrival of Alexander the Great.
