In the last episode, Assyria sacked Thebes, the jewel of Amun and the ancient world. They looted the temples and laid waste to the treasury. The Assyrians nominally held Egypt, but Tanutamun was secure in Napata. His death in 656 B.C. ended the Nubian domination of Egypt. This episode focuses on the 26th Dynasty, the Saite Period of Egypt.
