Egyptian history, it is true, forbids our accepting this statement as correct in all its particulars.
Uaphris appears certainly to have reigned at least as late as B.C.
569, and according to Herodotus, he was put to death, not by a foreign invader, but by a rebellious subject.

Perhaps we may best harmonize the conflicting statements on the subject by supposing that Josephus has confounded two distinct invasions of Egypt, one made by Nebuchadnezzar in his twenty-third year, B.C.581, which had no very important consequences, and the other eleven years later, B.C.570, which terminated in the deposition of Uaphris, and the establishment on the throne of a new king, Amasis, who received a nominal royalty from Chaldaean monarch.
Such--as far as they are known--were the military exploits of this great king.

He defeated Neco, recovered Syria, crushed rebellion in Judaea, took Tyre, and humiliated Egypt.

According to some writers his successes did not stop here.

Megasthenes made him subdue most of Africa, and thence pass over into Spain and conquer the Iberians.
