In the Ptolemaic era, it was called ‘Sin’ and the Nubians called it ‘Yaba Swan’. It was also known as the Land of Gold because it served as a great treasure or tomb for the kings of Nubia who lived there for thousands of years.

Information about the 29th Dynasty in Ancient Egypt

Historically, the Egyptian Dynasty When it comes to the Late Period of Ancient Egypt, the 19th Dynasty is considered the 4th Dynasty. It can sometimes be revealed as Dynasty XXIX, Dynasty 29, or 29th Dynasty. After Amirtai, the only Pharaoh of the 28th Dynasty, was dethroned by Nefaarud I in 398 BC when the establishment of Nefaarud I commenced, it was thenceforth destroyed after the Nefaarud II coup B.C. 380.

Nefaarud According to a story preserved in a papyrus in the Brooklyn Museum, I defeated Amyrtaeus in open combat and executed him in Memphis to establish the 29th Dynasty. Mendes was then proclaimed the capital of Nefaarud.

Following Nefaarud's death, two competing groups battled for control of the throne: one supported his son Muthis, while the other sided with usurper Psammuthes. Even so, Psammuthes was only able to rule for a single year despite his accomplishments.

Hakor, claiming to be the grandson of Nefaarud I, toppled Psammuthes. The younger Nefaarud was unable to hang onto his inheritance, even though his son Nefaarud II succeeded him as king upon his death. With assistance from Athens (until the Peace of Antalcidas in 387 BC) and the rebel king of Cyprus, Evagoras, he successfully withstood Persian attempts to retake Egypt.
