en-wikipedia-org-4167		Amasis II - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	3288	596	76	Died 526 B.C.E. Amasis II (Ancient Greek: Ἄμασις) or Ahmose II was a pharaoh (reigned 570 – 526 BCE) of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Egypt, the successor of Apries at Sais. Amasis died before Cambyses reached him, but his heir and son Psamtik III was defeated by the Persians.[8][10] He also married a Greek princess named Ladice daughter of King Battus III and made alliances with Polycrates of Samos and Croesus of Lydia.[4] Montaigne cites the story by Herodotus that Ladice cured Amasis of his impotence by praying to Venus/Aphropdite.[11] Herodotus also relates the desecration of Ahmose II/Amasis' mummy when the Persian king Cambyses conquered Egypt and thus ended the 26th (Saite) Dynasty: "Egypt: Amasis, the Last Great Egyptian Pharaoh". ^ Herodotus, The Histories, Book III, Chapter 16	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4167.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4167.txt
