Tides of History
Imperial Foundations are Built on Triumphs
The transition of power following Camp Bese's rise is not merely a reflection of individual victory, but a crucial moment in the establishment of a burgeoning Persian imperial elite. Although historical records regarding Camp Bese's early reign are scarce and details about the initial four years are unknown, his significant achievements, particularly the conquest of Egypt, illustrate the shift in power dynamics. He mobilized a large army from Babylon, successfully invaded Egypt, defeated its forces, and captured the capital Memphis.

These events underscore the far-reaching impacts of Camp Bese's rule and the complexities surrounding the rise of Persian dominance.
