Nakhthoreb

Hieroglyphic name of Nakhthoreb
Nakhthoreb (d. 343 B.C.E.), or Nectanebo II, plausibly the last ruler of the Thirtieth Dynasty. He  was  slain  or  sworn  by  the  Persians,  who  started their  second  period of business on the  Nile in  343 B.C.E. A  magnificent  sarcophagus thought  for Nakhthorebs burial
was discovered in Alexandria. During  his  reign  he  set up  a  temple  observances  Osiris and attended  Apis in  the  Serapeum district  at  Saqqara. The Persians  over  this  royal  line  but  were  sure  to  touch Alexander III the Great (332-323 B.C.E.) and to lose Egypt and their gone imperial areas forever.
