Although Taharqa's reign was filled with conflict with the Assyrians, it was also a prosperous renaissance period in Egypt and Kush.[16][17] The empire flourished under Taharqa, due in part to a particularly large Nile river flood, abundant crops,[16] and the "intellectual and material resources set free by an efficient central government."[17] Taharqa's inscriptions indicate that he gave large amounts of gold to the temple of amun at Kawa.[18] The Nile valley empire was as large as it had been since the New Kingdom.[19] Taharqa and the 25th dynasty revived Egyptian culture.[20] Religion, arts, and architecture were restored to their glorious Old, Middle, and New Kingdom forms.
