Tarekeniwal
Tarekeniwal was a List of monarchs of Kush, Kushite King of Meroë of whom little is known. He likely reigned in the second half of the 2nd century AD. Tarekeniwal is only known from his pyramid in Meroe (Beg. N 19).Derek A. Welsby, The Kingdom of Kush (Princeton: Markus Wiener Publishers, 1998), His name appears on the Pylon (architecture), pylon of the cult chapel in front of the pyramid, which was in modern times restored. The chapel and its decoration is still well preserved. Imagery in Tarekeniwal's tomb places unusually strong emphasis on him as a triumphant warrior. The offering table of the later king Aritenyesbokhe identifies Aritenyesbokhe ruler as a son of Tarekeniwal, presumably the same person as the king. The table also identifies Amanikhalika as Aritenyesbokhe's mother and thus as Tarekeniwal's queen.

If the attribution is correct, Amanikhalika would have reigned in the second half of the 2nd century CE based on her known relations to other monarchs. Sources and chronology Amanikhalika's name is known only from the offering table of the later king Aritenyesbokhe, which identifies Aritenyesbokhe's parents as Tarekeniwal and Amanikhalika. Tarekeniwal is presumably identical to the Tarekeniwal, Kushite king of the same name, buried in pyramid Beg. N 19. If Amanikhalika is to be identified with the queen in Beg. N 32 she was thus originally Tarekeniwal's queen consort. Identification with Amanikhalika would place this queen's reign in the second half of the 2nd century CE, since the reigns of both Tarekeniwal and Aritenyesbokhe are dated to this time. Beg. N 32 is the tomb of a Kushite queen regnant, dated to some point between the mid-2nd century CE and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
