Nekauba
Ancient Egyptian ruler · Historical Figures · Died 672 BC
Almost nothing is known of Nekauba. He is listed as one of the early kings of the 26th Saite Dynasty in Manetho's Epitome and ruled for six years. However, any contemporary documents do not confirm his status as king, and he may well be an invention of later Saite rulers to legitimize their kingship.
Nekauba is read about 14 times a day, in 13 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 17 August 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?About this person
Manetho writes that Nekauba is supposed to have succeeded Stephinates, the founder of the 26th Dynasty - perhaps Tefnakht II - and was, in turn, followed by the well-known Necho I, father of Psamtik I. Nekauba would have reigned as a local Saite king under the 25th Nubian Dynasty between 678 BC to 672 BC if he did have an independent reign. If not, he would merely have been a local mayor of Sais who served in office during this period before the accession of King Necho I.
