The Thirtieth Dynasty was the last native ruling dynasty during the Pharaonic epoch.
After an interval of independence, during which three indigenous dynasties reigned (the 28th, 29th and 30th dynasty), Artaxerxes III (358-338 BC) reconquered the Nile valley for a brief second period (343-332 BC), which is called the Thirty-first Dynasty of Egypt, thus starting another period of pharaos of Persian origin.
