	Psammetichus I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psammetichus, or Psamtik I, was the first of three kings of the Saite, or Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt (664 BC-610 BC).
		Psamtik I effectively reunified Egypt in his 8th Year(656 BC) when his naval fleet sailed into Upper Egypt and compelled the existing God's Wife of Amun at Thebes to adopt his daughter Nitocris as her Heiress in the so-called Adoption Stela.
		Psamtik's success destroyed the last vestiges of the Nubian Dynasty's control over Upper Egypt under Tantamani since Thebes now accepted his authority.

	Third Intermediate Period of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psamtik I was the first to be recognised by them as the King of the whole of Egypt, and he brought increased stability to the country in a 50 year reign from the city of Sais.
		Pharaoh Psamtik III had succeeded his father Ahmose II scarcely a year before he had to face the might of Persia at Pelusium.
		Psamtik was defeated and briefly escaped to Memphis, but ultimately he was imprisoned at Susa, capital of the Persian emperors, who now assumed the title of Pharaoh.

	Virtual Egyptian - Shawabti of King Psamtik I, Dyn. 26
		Psamtik I (664-610 BC) was born crown prince of a local potentate in an Egypt then ruled by the powerful Nubian/Egyptian king Taharqa.
		After a period of indoctrination at the Assyrian capital Nineveh, Psamtik was returned to Egypt and installed by the Assyrians at the head of the little Kingdom of Athribis in the Delta.
		A year later, Psamtik’s diplomacy accomplished the unimaginable: the Divine Adoratrice Shepenwepet II of Thebes adopted his daughter Nitiqret (Nitocris) as her successor, thereby handing him the rest of Egypt.

		We are informed from the Histories that Psamtik's father Nikos was killed by the Ethiopian king Sabacos, that Psamtik subsequently sought refuge in Syria from whence he was later summoned by the inhabitants of Sais, resumed his kingship and perpetuated the Saite family dynasty.
		Psamtik's authority was subsequently challenged by his rival chieftains and he was driven from Sais into the marshes of the western Delta.
		He claims that Psamtik came to power with the assistance of Ionian Greeks and Carians, and it is argued that this reflects a memory of the troops sent by Gyges, the Lydian king, to assist Psamtik in his successful coup.

		In the first year of his reign Psamtik II followed the example of his grandfather Psamtik I and installed his daughter as the adoptive daughter of the incumbant god's wife in Thebes.
		Surprisingly, the current god's wife was none other than Nitocris, the daughter of Psamtik I, still alive and active since her initiation in the 9th year of her father (or the 9th year of Darius as we have argued earlier).
		Nor should we be alarmed that yet another Psamtik, whether or not married to Ankhnesneferibre, and whether or not from the royal line, claimed the status of a king in the vicinity of Thebes while the revolt of Inaros escalated in the north.

		Psamtik was intrigued by the idea of the original human language.
		As described by Herodotus 200 years later, Psamtik instructed a shepherd to rear two infants in isolation and silence on the diet of goat's milk.
		Whether or not the formulation of the issue by Psamtik was correct, it is quite likely that the word-based speech evolved about 100,000 years ago out of clicking sounds, rather than grunt, gestured through modulation, mimicry and movements.

		However, in his Year 4, Psamtik II confidently marched out to Palestine with the Egyptian army on parade, and waved the flag of independence from Assyrian oppression all the way to Tyre and Byblos in Phoenicia.
		It was in this fourth year of Psamtik II and Amenemope that Assurbanipal (then in his Year 3) defeated Shamash-shuma-ukin and installed a new king, Kandalanu (Assur-etil-ana?/Anlamani?) in Babylon.

		One of Egypt’s principal gods, Osiris was thought to rule over Duat (the Egyptian underworld), and sit in judgement of the life and deeds of the deceased, determining their chances for eternal rest: he was the ‘king of the dead’.

		In the final section the article reviews the follow-up expeditions of later Pharaohs of XXVI Dynasty, Psamtik II, Apriy, and Amasis to Nubia, basically motivated by political and strategic considerations of the Egyptians who feared the strengthening of southern neighbours, especially Meroe.

		After an abortive rebellion by his vassals against the Assyrian ruler of Egypt in 663, Psamtik was unexpectedly restored as governor of Athribis, a city of the Nile Delta, by the Assyrian king.
		To remove the last vestiges of the rule of the kings of Cush—the African kingdom south of Egypt, which had persisted after the Assyrian raid of 663—he negotiated the adoption of his daughter by the priestess of the Theban god Amon, thus securing control over the considerable wealth of the temples.
		Thebes remained under its own governor, an appointee of the Cushites, but Psamtik installed a new official as governor of the South and also created the post of administrator of Middle Egypt.

		While Assurbanipal was busy in Babylonia and other regions, Psamtik shook off his Assyrian allegiance and became master of all Egypt.

		Back in the 7th century B.C., Egypt's King Psamtik I is credited with performing one of the first science experiments in history, at least according to legend.
		Despite his flawed conclusions (and appalling ethics), old Psamtik was pursuing a question that still intrigues researchers and the public to this day.
		Nowadays scientists would explain the king's results by noting that, while children obviously have the capacity and drive to speak, they can learn speech only if they are exposed to language during a critical period of their development.

		On royal decree two infants were taken away from their parents and put in the care of a mute shepherd, who was instructed to raise the children in isolation from other people.
		The shepherd was to take note of the first word uttered by the children; "uncorrupted" by the language of their forefathers, Psamtik reasoned they would begin to speak in the pure tongue from which all other languages were derived.
		Indeed, the assumption that an “original” vocabulary can be recovered is overoptimistic, and linguistic isolation of the individual, which has been documented in a few cases of severe child abuse, usually results in the absence of language.

		Sooo, contrary to your claim that there are no Greek mercenaries until Psamtik III, Egyptologists and Israeli Archaeologists dispute your assertions- there were indeed Greek mercenaries serving the Pharaohs in Palestine by the 7th century BCE, before Assyria came to her end in 612 BCE.
