Necho II〔Thomas Dobson. Encyclopædia: Or, A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous Literature. Stone house, no. 41, South Second street, 1798.

Page 20. 2001.〕 was a king of the 26th Dynasty (c. 610 BC – c. 595 BC). Necho undertook a number of construction projects across his kingdom.〔The history of Egypt By Samuel Sharpe. E. Moxon, 1852. Part 640. (p138 ).〕 In his reign, according to the Greek historian Herodotus (4.42), Necho II sent out an expedition〔The history of Egypt By Samuel Sharpe. E. Moxon, 1852. Part 640. (p18 ).〕 of Phoenicians, which in three years sailed from the Red Sea around Africa to the mouth of the Nile.〔Herodotus, on this point, was in disbelief that the Phoenicians had the sun on their right hand all the time - in Herodotus's time it was not known that the sea extended south beyond the equator and around Africa. For more discussion on this, see: The Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Difussion of Useful Knowledge, Volume 1. Charles Knight, 1833. (p172 ). Also see ''Necho_II's Phoenician_expedition'' below for various other views on this contentious topic.〕 His son, Psammetichus II, upon succession may have removed Necho's name from monuments.〔The Popular Handbook of Archaeology and the Bible. Edited by Norman L. Geisler, Joseph M. Holden. p287.〕 Necho played a significant role in the histories of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, the Neo-Babylonian Empire and the Kingdom of Judah. Necho II is most likely the pharaoh mentioned in several books of the Bible.〔Encyclopædia britannica. Edited by Colin MacFarquhar, George Gleig.

Gourlay, Percy Edward Newberry. (p276 ). (''cf''. Nekau's chief ambition lay in Asiatic conquest)〕〔Egypt Under the Pharaohs: A History Derived Entireley from the Monuments.

However, the Egyptians were defeated by the unexpected attack of the Babylonians and were eventually expelled from Syria. The Egyptologist Donald B. Redford observed that although Necho II was "a man of action from the start, and endowed with an imagination perhaps beyond that of his contemporaries, Necho had the misfortune to foster the impression of being a failure."〔Donald B. Redford, ''Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times'', (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1992), p. 447-48.〕 ==Biography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Necho II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
