		However, Taharqa was sufficiently subdued allowing Esarhaddon and Nebuchadrezzar to reassert their authority as Egyptian kings in Thebes and without the use of additional force.
		Taharqa was either caught off guard by the speed of Esarhaddon's advance, or decided against making a stand at the fortifications of Migdol and Sile as before, possibly thinking that his rivals would be better prepared for this.
		Taharqa it seems was no longer a force to be reckoned with in Syria, Phoenicia or Palestine, but he was not entirely washed up along the Nile in Egypt and Nubia.

		Taharqa, figlio di Piankhi e fratello di Shabataka aveva guidato, durante il regno del suo predecessore, il contigente egizio inviato in aiuto alla coalizione anti-assira formata dal Regno d'Israele, da quello di Giuda e dalle cittÃ di Ascalon e Sidone.
		Taharqa si rifugiÃ² prima a Tebe ma quando l'espansione assira costrinse Mentuhemat a fare atto di sottomissione, consegnando tutta la regione, dovette ritirarsi a Napata.
		Approfittando dell'assenza del sovrano assiro e del suo esercito, richiamati in altre regioni del loro turbolento impero, Taharqa ritornÃ² a Tebe e riuscÃ¬ a coalizzare in una nuova alleanza i dinasti locali che avevano fatto atto di sottomissione all'occupante, tra i quali anche Necho I, principe di Sais e fondatore della XXVI dinastia.

	History of Egypt, by Maspero, Volume 8, Part B.
		It does not appear that the father of Taharqa ever held the highest rank; it was from his mother, Âkaluka, that he inherited his pretensions to the crown, and through her probably that he traced his descent from the family of the high priests.
		The portraits of Taharqa represent him with a strong, square-shaped head, with full cheeks, vigorous mouth, and determined chin, such as belong to a man well suited to deal with that troubled epoch, and the knowledge we as yet possess of his conflict with Assyria fully confirms the character exhibited by his portrait statues.
		Taharqa did not quietly accept his defeat, and Egypt looked to him to be revenged on the Assyrian as soon as he should have reorganised his army.

		This statue represents King Taharqa, the third sovereign of the 25th Dynasty (ruled by Nubian kings).
		His birth name is engraved on his belt: "The perfect god, Taharqa alive for eternity." Taharqa was the most famous pharaoh of the 25th Dynasty, also known as the reign of the Kushites.
		With this object, Taharqa revived a thousand-year-old tradition by which the pharaoh fulfills his duty toward the gods by consecrating monuments to them, in exchange for their benevolence and protection.

	The Osirian Temple of Taharqa at Karnak
		Though this structure is not specifically attached to the main temple complex, it is in alignment with the main axis and attached to the Sacred Lake, and should probably be considered as a part of the temple of Amun.
		The direction of the walk from east to west would be in conformity with that of the king represented on the north facade of the building, but opposite to the general advance of the king inside the temple.
		A study of the cartouches and the hammered out double ureus on the blocks of this structure allow it to be dated to the 25th Dynasty, Nubian reign of Taharqa, with blocks reused from his predecessor, Shabaka.

		The time period is 715 B.C., Piankhi and Taharqa have made strategic plans, quite similar to those used by Menes in 3100 B.C., to defeat the enemy.
		Even though Taharqa was in an endless battle, he started construction projects, so grand, and with such splendor and magnificence, none of which could be matched.

		Taharqa’s twenty six year reign (690-664) stands out from any other in the Third Intermediate Period by the extent of the building program he implemented in the first sixteen years of his reign, and the extent of the fighting with the Assyrians in the later years.
		In 701 BC King Shebitku, Taharqa’s uncle and predecessor, sent Taharqa to head a military force to support the rebellion of King Ezekiah of Judea against his Assyrian overlords.
		Immensely respectful of Egypt’s cultural heritage, Taharqa set out to draw on the traditions of the Old and Middle Kingdoms, using new materials (previous Intermediate Period cash-strapped kings had taken to pilfering stone from older buildings) to restore and build anew.

		Taharqa was at the head of the Egyptian army, but it is not clear whether the two forces actually fought.
		Taharqa's brother Shabataka succeeded Shabaka, and he made Taharqa his coregent in order to assure his succession.
		Two years later Taharqa returned with a fresh army and managed to recover control of the Delta, but this success was short-lived, and Esar-haddon's successor, Ashurbanipal, drove Taharqa south again.

		It is readily evident that the importance of Amun in the world is paramount and that Taharqa is imploring his deity and master in terms surprisingly personal and factual for an Egyptian Pharaoh.
		Taharqa asks Amun to aid him in the performance to the good end of a bad situation (col. 6) "Preserve me from unhappiness and preserve me from any bad action" is a further remark by Taharqa.
		Alternatively, Taharqa offers the suggestion that it is equally possible that, as Amun never fails in his acts, any setback - such as his present debacle - only shows that the entire sequence of events has not yet been completed.
