Darius the Great secured Egypt by implementing a combination of military strength and administrative reform. After conquering Egypt in 525 BCE, he appointed a satrap (governor) to oversee the region and maintain order. Darius also promoted local traditions and religions to gain the support of the Egyptian populace, integrating them into the Persian Empire while ensuring loyalty through infrastructure projects and economic stability. This approach helped solidify Persian control and minimize resistance in Egypt.
