Harsiesi's Egypt

In 131 BC in Ptolemaic Egypt, an obscure rebel pharaoh named Harsiesi (who you probably haven't heard of) took advantage of the civil war between Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra II, and attempted to rebel against the Ptolemies. He died in late 130 BC and his rebellion ended. However, what if he lived, and his rebellion against Ptolemy VIII had succeeded, ending the Ptolemaic dynasty...? This is a live timeline, which means events will continue to unfold in the present (or they will be once I get to that point). Since I created this timeline, I get to choose what to do with it, so please don't make any changes other than grammar fixes without my permission. However, if you have any suggestions, just add a proposed page to the Proposals page for this timeline.

Point of Divergence (POD)
In September 130 BC, Harsiesi, rebel Pharaoh in southern Upper Egypt, does not die like in OTL. His rebellion continues, and as Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra II are focused on fighting each other, they pay little heed to his rebellion, which by the end of the year controls all of Upper Egypt. As Harsiesi's forces march through Lower Egypt, the two rivals finally recognize the threat and reluctantly band together to fight this new rebel Pharaoh. But by then it is too late. Their forces are too exhausted from the Civil War to fight Harsiesi, and by June 129 BC, Harsiesi has conquered all of Egypt but Alexandria. After laying siege to the city for three months, he finally captures it and becomes Pharaoh of all Egypt. His dynasty lasts for 399 years.
