The 26th Dynasty was part of the Late Kingdom. It started in 664 B.C.E. with the death of Nekau I and continued on through the Psammetichus III, or Psamtik III, in 525 B.C.E. During this Dynasty, Psamtik I expelled the Assyians and began what is now known as the 26th Egyptian Dynasty. At the close of this period, the Persians occupied the country.
