antiquity speaks for me
sand blown relics from nowhere
artifacts uncovered . .
our last view of old Egypt
traditions, temples and values
the leader of the 30th dynasty
pious and strong of will
Nectanebo II would sharply end
no more pure Egyptian rule . .
the last of the great pharaohs
he would flee the conquering hoard
foreign takeover prevailed . .
perfect symmetry and design
stones and earthly remains abound
mysteries to solve
the beauty of Egypt survived
intelligence calls . .
Author notes
the last Egyptian pharaoh of Egypt
Nectanebo II

the list is so long that I used a more cryptic style . . just bits here and there . . there was not another Egyptian in power until much later . .

This is nice and well written but totally off subject.
Cleopatra was from Macedonia yes. The question how ever was who was the last Pharaoh of Egypt? You have your Dynasties confused I guess or you are insisting on royal Egyptian blood when that is not what we ask for. -

thanks
my sources say Nectanebo II was the last Egyptian pharaoh of Egypt and the last Egyptian until Nassar . . the others were in power but no pharaoh . . hope you like the new version . . sorry you withdrew the contest . .
