first answer gets best answer unless a better one comes along...SO HURRY IT UP AND ANSWER.

Answer 1

The Nubians established the 25th Dynasty in 720(+) B.C.E.

Egypt was conquered by many people in the course of its history. Many of the 'Conquerors' became 'Egyptians' and some even started dynasties "Ptolemy" was a Macedonian General under Alexander the Great.... his grand daughter was Cleopatra; last of the "Ptolemaic Dynasty").

Greece under Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 322 B.C.E.
The Persians under Cambyses II conquered Egypt in 533 B.C.E.
The Nubians under Piye (Piankhi) conquered in 752 B.C.E.

Answer 2

The 22nd dynasty were Libyans and the 25th were Nubians. As this was the third intermediate period and records are scant there is some debate over the dates. Several of the dynasties of this period overlapped. Certainly the 23rd ran concurrent with the 22nd. The late period began when the 25th dynasty was expelled from Upper Egypt.

The 22nd may have come to power around 950BC and lasted for 120 years and the 25th may have started around 710BC. But at best, the dates are no more than educated guesses.

Answer 3

Kushites. In the 8th century BC, Kush, led by King Piankhi (or Piye) and later his brother and successor King Shabaka conquered Egypt.
