The Battle of Pelusium was the first major battle between the Achaemenid Empire and Egypt. This decisive battle transferred the throne of the Pharaohs to Cambyses II of Persia, marking the beginning of the Achaemenid Twenty-seventh Dynasty of Egypt. It was fought near Pelusium, an important city in the eastern extremes of Egypt's Nile Delta, 30 km to the southeast of the modern Port Said, in 525 BC. The battle was preceded and followed by sieges at Gaza and Memphis.

EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard Gertoux

The account of these historians is confirmed by the narrative of Udjahorresnet (Briant: 1996, 63-65), the Egyptian general who led the naval fleet under Amasis, then under Psamtik III and finally under Cambyses, which authenticates the version of Herodotus. This war probably lasted at least six months because, according to the historian Polyaenus: When Cambyses attacked Pelusium, which guarded the entrance into Egypt, the Egyptians defended it with great resolution. They advanced formidable engines against the besiegers, and hurled missiles, stones, and fire at them from their catapults (Stratagems of war VII:9). These narratives overlap exactly and give the following chronological scheme: war of Cambyses against Egypt beginning in the year 44, the last year of Amasis, which ends after the brief reign of 6 months of Psamtik III, his successor or in the 5th year of Cambyses.
