Anlamani was the son of Senkamanisken, his predecessor, and the elder brother of Aspelta, his successor.

The stela records his mother Nasalsa's visit to Kawa to watch his official coronation as king.

It also notes his decision to make four of his sisters as "sistrum-players" in the National temple of Amun at Jebel Barkal and reports the king's campaign against certain nomadic tribes who threatened Kawa.

[citation needed] Two granite statues of this king have been found in Jebel Barkal while a block from Meroë bearing his name is known.

In 592 BC, under the reign of his brother Aspelta, the Egyptian king Psamtik II launched a campaign against Kush which resulted in the sack of Napata.
