Quick questions on Cambyses II and the conquest of Egypt: HSC Ancient History

Against Herodotus stands contemporary Egyptian evidence, and it points the other way. The key document is the biographical inscription on the naophorous statue of Udjahorresnet, a senior Egyptian priest and naval commander who had served the last Saite pharaohs and then continued under Persian rule. In his own account, Udjahorresnet composed an Egyptian royal titulary for Cambyses, presenting him as a legitimate pharaoh; he says the king, at his request, ordered foreigners expelled from the temple of the goddess Neith at Sais, restored its offerings and revenues, and performed the proper duties of a "beneficent king." This is a king working with the Egyptian elite and through Egyptian religious institutions, not a rampaging desecrator.
