They reigned in part or all of Ancient Egypt from 744–656 BC.[3] The dynasty began with Kashta's invasion of Upper Egypt and culminated in several years of both successful and unsuccessful wars with the Mesopotamia-based Neo-Assyrian Empire. The successors of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty settled back in their Nubian homeland, where they continued their kingdom at Napata (656–590 BC), and continued to make empty claims to Egyptian kingship during the next 60 years, while the effective control of Egypt was in the hands of Psamtik I and his successors.[36] The Kushite next ruled further south at Meroë (590 BC – 4th century AD).[9] Hotepsekhemwy Nebra/Raneb Nynetjer Ba Nubnefer Horus Sa Weneg-Nebty Wadjenes Senedj Seth-Peribsen Sekhemib-Perenmaat Neferkara I Neferkasokar Hudjefa I Khasekhemwy Djoser Sekhemkhet Sanakht Nebka Khaba Qahedjet Huni ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7070.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7070.txt
