Did Ancient Egyptians Circumnavigate Africa?

The story goes that around 600 BCE, Pharaoh Necho II dispatched an Egyptian fleet down the East African coast to discover if the continent could be circumnavigated by sea. Three years later, the sailors passed through the Pillars of Hercules (modern Gibraltar) and made it back to Egypt. It was largely regarded as a tall tale by the learned men of the day... but clues found in an ancient Greek text indicate that this epic expedition may have actually taken place.
