	Egypt: Sais (Sa el-Hagar)
		Sais, known as Zau in ancient Egyptian and today as Sa el-Hagar, is located in Egypt's Delta.
		Regrettably, the history of Egypt is skewed, particularly to the average reader, to the desert areas where the Pyramids are located and to the southern regions around Luxor and Aswan.
		What is more evident from Sais is a substantial number of artifacts, including statues, stelae and sarcophagi scattered about in various museums throughout the world.

		Sais was a Greek city in the delta region of Egypt.
		Sais worshipped Rhea, the serpent goddess (the eye of Rhea, not the eye of 'ra').
		When the traveling Greek entered Sais (c.600 B.C.E.), Greek religions had changed to 3rd generation of Greek deities/religions, therefore, the story of the island was changed from 2nd generation deities (Rhea-serpent goddess-and the Titans) to Zeus, Poseidon (3rd generation), and Poseidon's son Atlas (4th generation).

		But the coronation of a king of Egypt was viewed as a metamorphosis where a mere mortal was recognized as a pharaoh, a son of Ra, a living god (or, more accurately, the embodiment of the god Horus).
		Born in times of weakness, when Egypt was regularly invaded and generally controlled by the Assyrians, Dynasty 26 (‘the Saite Dynasty’) was installed at the head of the tiny kingdoms of Sais and Athribis in the Delta by the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.
		It was a true rebirth for Egypt, with a once again thriving economy, a recovered sense of national identity, and a new-found opening to the outside world—most particularly to the Greek World.

		Nubian rule, which viewed itself as restoring the true traditions of Egypt, benefited Egypt economically and was accompanied by a revival in temple building and the arts that continued throughout the Late Period.
		When the Assyrians withdrew after their final invasion, Egypt was left in the hands of the Saite kings, though it was actually only in 656 B.C. that the Saite king Psamtik I was able to reassert control over the southern area of the country dominated by Thebes.
		The military defeat of Persia by the Greeks at Marathon in 490 B.C., however, inspired resistance in Egypt; and for nearly a century thereafter, Persian control was challenged by a series of local Egyptian kings, primarily in the Delta.

		He was himself defeated by Nebuchadnezzar, the soon to become king of Babylonia (604-562), in 605, and from then on, Egypt no longer tried to interviene outside its borders, though it still had to repel outside invasions more or less successfully, especially from the Babylonians, and then from the Persians.

		This was due to a mistranslation of the assumed Egyptian texts shown by the temple priest at Sais to Solon on his visit there in c.
		Moreover, it remains a distinct possibility that Plato only introduced him into his dialogues to lend credibility to the story, since Egypt was seen as the home of the most ancient philosophical wisdom of the classical world.
		Thus Solon's, and thus Egypt's, role in the Atlantis legend is seriously flawed, implying that it might well have come from another source altogether.

		The goddess Neith whose emblem was a shield with two crossed arrows, seems to have had a cult centre at Sais from the Early Dynastic Period and there is some evidence that a wooden label dated to the Dynasty I King Aha, from Abydos, depicts his visit to a cult shrine at Sais.

		Egypt fights several wars with the Ptolemies and the Seleucids for control of Syria and Palestine, but manages to hold onto it's Asian possessions, largely because, unlike the Hellenistic successor kingdoms, Egypt maintains a large cavalry force of armored lancers, armored horse archers, and light horse archers to go along with it's phalanx.
