Ancient Egypt - The last native ruler of ancient Egypt

Time: 343 BC

Place: Egypt

Details: The last native ruler of ancient Egypt, his deposition marked the end of Egyptian hegemony until 1952. Nectanebo II (360-343 BC), however, was a very competent pharaoh, perhaps the most energetic of the dynasty, as he engaged in building and repairing monuments on a scale exceeding that of his grandfather's and boosted the economy. Nectanebo II was overthrown by Artaxerxes III around 343 BC and fled to Nubia; his subsequent fate is lost to history, although some believe he died shortly after.
