Amanipilade

Amanipilade is the name conventionally attributed to a Kushite queen regnant buried in pyramid Beg N. 25 in Meroë.

The name Amanipilade, rendered in Meroitic as Mnipilde, is known only from a text found at an offering table in the pyramid Beg.

[2] Some researchers have doubted the attribution, such as Kuckertz (2021), who speculated that it could be the name of a non-royal official who adopted a royal formula on their offering table.

[4] The names of Amanipilade's parents are also recorded in the offering table text: Tehye (father) and Mkeḫñye (mother).

[2] Circumstantial and indirect evidence also dates the end of Meroitic political authority to the middle decades of the fourth century AD.
