Piye

Piye, (whose name was once transliterated as Piankhi the Nubian) (d. 721 BCE) is a Kushite king and founder of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt.

(According to Peter Clayton, he rules Egypt from 747 BCE to 716 BCE).

He rules from the city of Napata, located deep in Nubia, Sudan.

His predecessor as king of Kush, Kashta, almost certainly exercised a strong degree of influence over Thebes prior to Piye's accession because Kashta managed to have his daughter, Amenirdis I, adopted as the heiress to the serving God's Wife of Amun, Shepenupet I, before the end of his reign.
