Neferkare Shabaka, or Shabako (Meroitic: 𐦰𐦲𐦡𐦐𐦲 (sha-ba-ka), Egyptian: 𓆷𓃞𓂓 šꜣ bꜣ kꜣ, Assyrian: 50px Ša-ba-ku-u, Šabakû ) was the third Kushite pharaoh of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt, who reigned from 705 to 690 BC. The Greek sources (which include both Herodotus and Manetho) call him Sabakōn (Σαβακῶν) or, more likely, given current understanding of the order of kings and the stated reign-lengths, Sebikhōs (Σεβιχὼς). He ruled from the city of Napata, located deep in Nubia, modern-day Sudan. His burial at el-Kurru (Tomb Ku 15).
Nekauba
Almost nothing is known of Nekauba (Ancient Greek: ). 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. 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 bet
