The first Nubian pharaoh of Egypt, the founding pharaoh of the 25th dynasty, was named Piye. He successfully invaded and conquered Egypt around 730 BCE. After consolidating his new territory, Piye returned to Nubia where he ruled until his death 722 BCE. He asked to be buried, not in the traditional Nubian fashion, but with a pyramid, like the ancient rulers of the people he had conquered. Piye was the first pharaoh in more than 500 years to be entombed this way.
