King Nectanabo I
King Nectanebo (or, more accurately transliterated, Nekhtnebef) lived in Ancient Egypt and began the Thirtieth Dynasty. He deposed and killed his predecessor, King Nefaarud II, who only managed to rule Ancient Egypt for around four months. Nectanebo ruled for a stable 18 years, despite having to fend off the Persians, and built a great many things including the first pylon at Karnak. This quite stunningly beautiful object, now in The British Museum, depicts him in enigmatic relief, and dates from around 370BCE.
