Third Intermediate Period (jan 1, 1085 BC – jan 1, 664 BC)
Description:
This period is characterized by the country's dividing kingship. Power is held by Tanis and Thebes at the start. Egypt eventually is divided by civil war, and doesn't continue to rise like past periods in Egypt. This division lowers the country's defenses and therefor Egypt suffers an invasion from Nubians from the South.Added to timeline:
