A Bronze Helmet from the Time of Neco | Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament

I'm always fascinated to find out about archeological finds that corroborate the Bible. Dr Mariottini always posts great content that sometimes includes such information. Dr Mariottini wrote the following.

Archaeologists have found a Greek bronze helmet covered with gold leaf that is 2,600-year-old. The bronze helmet probably belonged to a Greek mercenary who fought with Neco, a pharaoh of Egypt. The helmet was discovered in the waters of Haifa Bay, in Israel.
Neco (his name also appears as Necho in some translations of the Bible), was a pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty (Saite). He ruled from 609 to 595 B.C. Neco appears in the Hebrew Bible as the one who caused the death of Josiah, king of Judah, at Megiddo in 609 (see 2 Kgs. 23:28–30; 2 Chr. 35:20–27).
