Serge Sauneron and Jean Yoyotte proposed that either Atlanersa or Senkamanisken faced an incursion of Egyptian troops under the command of Psamtik I,[85] who very probably also established a garrison on Elephantine to guard the border.[26][86][87] This hypothesis is contested by Török, who points to the lack of direct evidence.[54] In any case, a raid on Napata by the Egyptians did take place during the later reign of Psamtik II c. 593 BC. During this raid, the colossal statue of Atlanersa in front of Temple B700 was toppled and its head cut off.[55]
