The "Libyan Period" refers to a time in ancient Egyptian history, approximately from 950 to 730 BCE, when Egypt was influenced by the Libyan tribes. During this era, various Libyan leaders gained power and established dynasties, marking a shift in political control from native Egyptian rulers to foreign influences. This period is characterized by a blend of Egyptian and Libyan cultures, evident in art, architecture, and burial practices. The Libyan rulers adopted many aspects of Egyptian traditions while also introducing their own customs, leading to a unique cultural fusion that shaped the history of ancient Egypt.
