The King "Wah-Ib-Ra" became known "Apries" ( Ἁπρίης ) at the ancient Greeks, and Pharaoh "Hophra" at the Jews, There are other titles dubbed them, They title of "Wah-Ib-Ra" WAHibRa , Which refers to the name of the birth of King, meaning "Constant is the Heart of Re" and the title of "Haa-Ib-Ra" @aaibRa , Which refers to the name of coronation of the King, Which means "Rejoice heart of Ra" and we must differentiate between the two kings carried the title of "Wah-Ib-Ra" They King counting from "Psamtik I" founding family Twenty-sixth Dynasty and the King "Apries" the fourth king of the family, where is the title of "Wah-Ib-Ra" is the name of the coronation of the king " Psamtik I" and Birth name for King "Apries". The period of the life of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" from a difficult periods historically, because of a few of resources for the life of the king and his reign and his family, As for his Monuments Has Gave us a little about his life and his reign, so that I worked to elucidation and show these points : II The birth of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" : Thought Hincks that king Apries was born not later than about 612 B.C, the year in which "Psamtik I" died. He might have been born some years earlier, but could not be later. Lineage of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" : where Lineage King "Apries" to his father King "Psamtik II" and his mother Queen "Takhut" that we knew Lineage King "Apries" to his father King "Psamtik II" From The Adoption Stela of "Ankhnesneferibre" at Karnak, as from this Stela "Ankhnesneferibre" her father "Psamtik II" and her brother "Apries", and also we knew the name of the mother of King "Apries" From the coffin of his sister Princess "Ankhnesneferibre", which contains inscriptions show Lineage princess to her father King "Psammetik II" and to her mother Queen "Takhut". Wife of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" : For the wife of King "Apries" she not known to us, only said "Sayce" that be wife "Apries" Queen "Aah-hotop" that Apries' wife goes unrecorded. The rule of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" : not known the real reign of King "Apries" where Historians disagree on the length of his reign, "Herodotus" said that the rule of the king twenty-five years, and said "Diodore" that the rule of him twenty-two years As for "Maniton" that he rule of nineteen years, and we known the last years for the reign of King from the Stele in the Museum Lausanne N ° 24, that looks good from the date of the last year of his reign, and Through this donation Stela shows us the reign of the king "Apries" a twenty-year-old. III The civil war between the King "Wah-Ib-Ra" and "Amasis" : The events of the civil war For the course of the usurpation, as distinct from the chronology, we are dependent on a consideration of Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, the Elephantine stela of Amasis, and a fragment of a Babylonian royal text. According to Herodotus, the defeat of an Egyptian army sent against Cyrene by Apries led to a rebellion. When Apries dispatched one of his officials, Amasis, to bring the soldiers to heel, the latter was proclaimed king by the rebels, and joined them, Apries alienating more of his subjects by the mutilation of an unfortunate courtier who brought the bad news. Apries advanced from Sais with 30,000 Carians loniansand onians against the oncoming Amasis. The battle which followed at Momemphis resulted in a victory for Amasis, the capture of Apries and, after an unspecified time, the death of the latter at the hands of the populace to whom he had been unwillingly surrendered by the new king. He was, howeve, granted burial in the dynastic cemetery in the precinct of Neith at Sais. The joint-reign between "Apries" and "Amasis" : There was no joint-reign between "Apries" and "Amasis" and The monuments of the joint-reign of "Apries" and "Amasis" conclusively show that for some years "Apries" remained a political prisoner under the power of his nominal co-regent "Amasis". And the Block with scene of Amasis with naos followed by Ra (Champollion and Roselini) give cartouche of Apries in error, probably originally from Memphis, found in Citadel. IV A few monuments of the King "Wah-Ib-Ra" in Upper Egypt : the monuments of "Apries" in Upper Egypt Less than his monuments in lower Egypt because the reign of King "Apries" was in Lower Egypt and in the capital, "Sais". found Newly about Stela for the king "Apries" in Tel Dafnah : the archaeologists Egyptians has found New for the Pharaoh Apries the XXVI dynasty (589-570 BC) in Tel Dafnah.
