Editing Necho II (section)

===Death and succession===
Necho II died in 595 BC and was succeeded by his son, [[Psamtik II]], as the next pharaoh of Egypt. Psamtik II, however, apparently removed Necho's name from almost all of his father's monuments for unknown reasons. However, some scholars, such as Roberto Gozzoli, express doubt that this actually happened, arguing that the evidence for this is fragmentary and rather contradictory.<ref>Gozzoli, R. B.
