Amaniastabarqa was a Kushite king of Meroë who ruled c.510–487 BCE.[3]
Reign
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.[4] As a result, many of the object belonged to him are now in Boston, including ushabtis, pottery, foundation deposits, stone objects and gold artifacts.[5][6] A granite gneiss stela bearing Amaniastabarqa's cartouches, again from Nuri, is now in Boston too (acc. no. 17-2-1910B).[3]
Other artifacts of him are in the Antiquities Museum of Khartoum, noticeably a gold pectoral.[4]
