Tanyidamani was a Kushite king of Meroë who ruled in the second half of the 2nd century BCE.
[1] Tanyidamani is known by some objects, the most remarkable among these is a large stele from Jebel Barkal: it is the first long-known text in Meroitic alphabet.
Another smaller, red siltstone stele was found in the temple of Apedemak at Meroë, and is now at the Walters Art Museum.
No pyramid can be securely attributed to Tanyidamani,[2] though he has been proposed to have been buried in Beg.
[1] The chronologically next known Kushite king is Pakhedateqo, who is thus placed as Tanyidamani's potantial successor.
