Kushite king of Meroë From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amaniastabarqa (also Amaniastabarqo) was a Kushite king of Meroë who ruled in the late Sixth or early Fifth centuries BC, c. 510–487 BCE.[4]
He is the presumed successor of Karkamani, according to the sequence of the Nubian pyramids at Nuri where he was buried (no. 2).[1] The pyramid was excavated by a Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition in 1917.[5] As a result, many of the object belonged to him are now in Boston, including ushabtis, pottery, foundation deposits, stone objects and gold artifacts.[6][7] A granite gneiss stela bearing Amaniastabarqa's cartouches, again from Nuri, is now in Boston too (acc. no. 17-2-1910B).[4]
Other artifacts of him are in the Antiquities Museum of Khartoum, noticeably a gold pectoral.[5]
