 The Nubian Kingdom to the south took full advantage of the division and political instability .  Prior to Piye's Year 20 campaign into 
 Egypt  
,  the previous Nubian ruler ,  Kashta ,  had already extended his kingdom's influence over into 
 Thebes  
when he compelled Shepenupet ,  the serving Divine Adoratice of Amun and Takelot III's sister ,  to adopt his own daughter Amenirdis ,  to be her successor .  

Piye (Piankhi) marched north and defeated the combined might of several native Egyptian rulers such as Peftjaubast ,  Osorkon IV of Tanis ,  Iuput II of Leontopolis and Tefnakht of Sais .  He established the Twenty-five Dynasty .  In fact ,  Upper Egypt held out longer against Nubian invaders until being overrun by the armies of their ruler Piankhi all the way to 
 Memphis  
.  Piankhi's brother ,  Shabaka ,  marched north to conquer the Delta and reunite Upper and Lower Egypt under the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Nubian Kings (747-656BC) .  During this period ,  there was an artistic and cultural revival .  The Twenty-fifth Dynasty ended when Assyrian armies captured Memphis and attacked Thebes ,  driving the Nubian pharaoh Tanutamun back to Nubia .  

He was succeeded first by his brother ,  Shabaka ,  and then by his two

 sons: Shebitku and Taharqa .  Taharqa's reign and that of his successor ,  (his cousin) Tanutamun ,  were filled with constant conflict with the Assyrians . 

After a long period of resistance ,  Thebes was occupied and Memphis was ignored .  The Dynasty ended with its rulers centered in the relative backwater of the city of Napata .
