 Virtual Egyptian - Shawabti of Psamtikmeryptah, Dyn. 26
During Dynasty 12 of the Middle Kingdom (circa 1800 BC), a new class of funerary statuettes appeared.
Streamlined, almost minimalist, most often made of highly polished stone, a single statuette was placed in the tomb, representing the defunct, with his arms, his legs, his whole body shrouded in mummy trappings, up to his head.
One could reasonably argue that kings did not need shawabtis, because they expected to be exempt from any labor conscription in the kingdom of the dead (and they certainly had no compelling need for a funerary statuette immortalizing their physical appearance, as it was already well documented in a variety of media).

Anaximedes (570-526 BC) believed that northern lights occured when a volatile vapour accumulated in the sky and mixed with air.
Anaxagoras (500-428 BC) suggested it was fire vapour pouring down from the highest parts into the clouds.
According to Aristotle (384-322 BC) fire was the lightest element of all, and when it rose up in the air and came in contact with dry vapour, they burst into flames and created the northern lights.

 JWSR v6n1 - Eric Cline
During the second millennium BC, the flanking rival empires which were competing for military, economic, and political control of Syria-Palestine were the Egyptians and the Hittites, but they consistently fought further north, in the region of Kadesh and even as far as Ugarit in northern Syria.
I would propose that Megiddo and the Jezreel Valley first became a "contested periphery" in the mid-first millennium BC, during the Neo-Assyrian period and on through the ensuing Neo-Babylonian and Persian periods, when the region was criss-crossed time and again by armies intent on invading Egypt.
The coming of the Greeks in 332 BC changed the nationality of the invading armies, but little else, for Megiddo and the Jezreel Valley remained a "contested periphery." Alexander the Great and his army almost certainly passed right by Megiddo, apparently without needing to fight a battle, while conquering Syria-Palestine and Egypt.

 Pharaohs Exhibition
The Rosetta Stone (now in the British Museum) was carved with an inscription in three different scripts: Egyptian hieroglyphs at the top, demotic script (a late cursive form of hieroglyphs) in the middle, and Greek at the bottom.
The translation of the Greek passage revealed that the inscription was a royal edict issued on March 27, 196 BC.
During the Ptolemaic Period (332-30 BC), it was used on stone monuments, especially on funerary or commemorative steles, or, in royal edicts like that found on the Rosetta Stone.

A striking feature of the area, these gardens may be the same as Strabo's grove, through parks and gardens that were probably a feature of Memphis and provided oases of well-watered greenery and shade amid the crowded, dusty streets and living quarters of the city.
"After 30 BC when the fleet of Anthony and Cleopatra was sunk at Actium and the Roman empire established its power in Egypt, Memphis still remained important," Krol says.

 Dynasties 26: Psammetichus I, Necho II, Apries, Amasis, Psammetichus III
Nekau (Necho) II 610-595 BC Nekau (II), who we know better as Necho, was either the 2nd or 3rd  king of Egypt's 26th Dynasty, depending on whether we allow the rule of a nominal king Nekau I at the beginning of the Dynasty.
We believe that Amasis was the son of a Lady Takheredeneset, and married two women by the names of Tentheta and Nakhtsebastetru.  He may have had a third wife named Khedebneithireretbeneret, who was actually a daughter of his great nemesis, Apris.
Yet poor Apries was not yet finished.  In March of 567, he again marched on Egypt at the head of a Babylonian army, but once again, Amasis defeated him, this time capturing the former king.

It is known from both Babylonian and Greek history that at least from the time of King Nabonassar (whose reign began in 747 BC), a dated canon of astronomical observations was preserved at Babylon.
A date of 776 BC was formerly adopted for such an event, but modern computations show that no solar eclipse in that year was visible in China.
The Ch'un-ch'iu ('Spring and Autumn Annals'), a chronicle covering the period from 722 BC to 481 BC, notes the occurrence of 36 solar eclipses during this interval.

 Egypt: Amasis, the Last Great Egyptian Pharaoh
The two armies met somewhere in the north-west Egyptian Delta in about January or February of 570 BC, and Apries was forced to retreat.
Apries's apparent retreat was only as far south as Memphis and he continued to control southern Egypt, while Amasis established himself at Sais in Northern Egypt.
Yet Apries was not content with this, and aided by his Greek troops, once again marched on Amasis in October of 570 BC, where he was once again defeated by his former general.
