Both sons would ultimately assume the Kushite throne after his death at Napata, Nubia's capital city.

Statues of Senkamanisken have been found buried or hidden in the Jebel Barkal, presumably due to Psamtik II's attack on Kush in 592 BC.

[3] Objects bearing the name of this king have also been found in Meroë[4] indicating that he placed a degree of importance to this site which would be the political capital of the Kushite kingdom after Psamtik II's sack of Napata in 592 BC.

[6] The hieroglyphic inscription on the Temple described the role of God Amun in selecting Sekamanisken as king: I said of you (while you were still) in your mother's womb that you were to be ruler of Kemet ("Black Land"= Egypt).

I made you receive the Great Crown, which Re (the Sun god) caused to appear on the first good occasion.
