Natakamani in front of the National Museum in Khartoum.
Natakamani was a King of Kush who reigned from around or earlier than 1 BC to circa AD 20.Natakamani is the best attested ruler of the Meroitic period. He was born to queen Amanishakheto and Amanitere.
Natakamani is known from several temple buildings and from his pyramid in Meroe
such as restoring the temple Amun, as well as his dedication of the temple at Faras. On several monuments he appears together with co-regent queen Amanitore.
The relationship between the two is not clear: she might have been his wife, or his mother who served as his regent while he was still young. However, it is known that during the co-reign, they had almost equal rights as depicted in several temple sculptures.[Natakamani was preceded by Amanishakheto and succeeded by queen Amanitore.
