Battle of Pelusium (525 BCE) — Persia’s Invasion of Egypt and the Fall of the Pharaoh

Описание: In 525 BCE, the Persian king Cambyses II launched a daring campaign to conquer Egypt, the last independent kingdom on the eastern Mediterranean. At the fortified city of Pelusium, where desert meets the Nile, Pharaoh Psamtik III made his final stand.
Persian sparabara infantry pressed through the marshes, archers darkened the sky, and ancient accounts tell of sacred animals used as psychological weapons. Pelusium fell, Memphis surrendered, and Egypt became a Persian satrapy—its age of pharaohs eclipsed by the Achaemenid Empire.
