Piy (Piankhi) (about 746-715/713 BC)

King of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. First Napatan king to rule over Egypt: the campaign in which he defeated his enemies in Egypt is vividly described in the Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription on a great stela set up at the Amun temple in Gebel Barkal. It is not certain to what extent he controlled all regions of Egypt following this conquest.
