Lucas and Luna dive into the Battle of Pelusium (525 BCE), where the Persian king Cambyses II crushed the last native pharaoh, Psamtik III, and ended Egypt's 26th Dynasty. They explore Herodotus's dramatic (and possibly embellished) account of the battle, including the legendary use of cats as Persian shields against the cat-loving Egyptians. The episode examines the political chaos leading to the invasion—including the fateful advice of the Greek mercenary Phanes to Cambyses—and the aftermath: the capture of Memphis, the humiliation of Psamtik III, and the beginning of nearly two centuries of Persian rule. Lucas clarifies what we actually know versus what comes from Greek sources, and discusses the archaeological and textual evidence for the battle. They also touch on the continuity of Egyptian culture under Persian rule and the rebellion of Inaros in 460 BCE. #BattleOfPelusium #CambysesII #PsamtikIII #Herodotus #AchaemenidEmpire #26thDynasty #AncientEgypt #PersianInvasion #Cats #Phanes #Memphis #Pelusium #Inaros #PelusiacBranch #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #NorthAfrica #AncientWarfare Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
