Psamtik II (died 589 BCE) was a Pharaoh of Egypt belonging to the Twenty-sixth dynasty.

In 2012, he was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.[1]

Trivia

Psamtik was included in the "Obelisks" mnemonic set from the first chapter of the "Rome" pack as he was the original builder of one of the Obelisks in Rome, the Obelisk of Montecitorio. It was moved from Heliopolis to the Campus Martius in Rome on order of Emperor Augustus in 10 BCE to form the gnomon of a colossal sundial. It was found and restored in 1792 by Pope Pius VI, and re-erected in front of Palazzo Montecitorio.
