The hieroglyphic name of Necho I |
Necho I |
As the chief liege of the Assyrians in Egypt, Necho became a prime target for Tanuatamun, the nephew of King Taharka of the 25th Dynasty. On Taharkas death, Tanuatamun claimed the kingship of Nubia and of Egypt (664-656 BC), briefly restitution the country from the Assyrians and their lieges. He sailed northward to Thebes and last continued to the Delta and Memphis where he killed Necho I, whom the Assyrians had determined as local ruler. This power was working; Psammetichus I (son of Necho I) conquered control and set himself as king of Egypt and the yield of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty. Necho I left few repositories; his great part was to enable his posterity to gain power and establish themselves as the native rulers of an clear Twenty-sixth Dynasty.
