Kashta

Kashta is the first attested in Egypt pharaoh of the 25th dynasty Kushite. His reign is about? -746 BC It has been suggested that he was the brother and successor of Alara, the true founder of the 25th dynasty. This has not yet ruled in Egypt itself. His sister wife Pabatma; Daughters of the two are Peksater and the God's Wife Amenirdis I., during Piye and another daughter Abar come from another mother.

After he has subjected Nubia, Kaschta can venture north to Aswan, where he donates a stele in the Chnuntempel of Elephantine. He takes the title of King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Son of Re, lord of the two countries and the throne name ( To the King ) proclaimed, a Re ( Maat- Rê ) to.

Kenneth A. Kitchen assigns an estimated government period of 12 to 13 years. The close ties to Egyptian religion and to Thebes witnessed an aegis of the goddess Mut; perhaps there is also a scarab of the king.

Kashta was probably buried in Al- Kurru, but may be assigned to him with certainty any particular tomb.
