In the IInd and Ist centuries BCE, you had two (recorded) important native revolts against Ptolemaic rule, leaded by self-styled pharaohs : Herwennefer and Ankhmasis between -205 and -185 being the more successful contenders, taking the main part of Upper Egypt, and Harsiesi between -131 and -130.

How could these anti-Lagic pharahohs could stand their ground against Ptolemies and create a XXXIV Dynasty in Upper Egypt?
What would become of it? Could they became an eventual Roman client (possibly absorbated after awhile)? Could they even (even if I'm suspicious, giving the alliance Ptolemies had with Rome) take on Lower Egypt, allying with Lagid's foes?
