King of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty
Between 664 and 657 Psamtek I eliminated local rulers in Lower Egypt (Twenty-third Dynasty), ended the authority of the Napatan kings at Thebes (Twenty-fifth Dynasty) and thereby reunified Egypt. At the start of his reign he seems to have been governor of Egypt for the Assyrian kings: as their power collapsed in Asia, he became de facto independent ruler in Egypt.
