The earliest recorded trace of a recapitulation theory is from the Egyptian Pharaoh Psamtik I ( 664 – 610 BCE ), who used it as an hypothesis on the origin of language.

According to historical records, Necho was killed by an invading Kushite force in 664 BC under Tantamani for being an ally of Assyria.

A new Kushite King Tantamani ( 664 – 653 BC ) killed him the same year that Taharqa died, in 664 BC when Tantamani invaded Lower Egypt.

After the death of Taharqa in 664 BC his nephew and successor Tantamani invaded Upper Egypt and made Thebes his capital.

Instead, Egypt was ruled ( from 664 BC, a full eight years prior to Tanutamun's death ) by the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty, client kings established by the Assyrians who successfully brought about Egypt's political independence under their reign.
