Timeline of Egyptian History: 3500 BC - AD 500
  • Egypt 500 BC

Over the past few centuries Egypt has been invaded and occupied by several different peoples, most recently by the Persians, in 525 BC. Egypt is now merely one amongst many provinces of the huge Persian empire.

From this time on, for well over two thousand years, Egypt will be under foreign rulers. When the country again comes under a native dynasty, the civilization of Ancient Egypt will be barely a memory.
