Amanikhatashan was a queen regnant of the Kingdom of Kush, probably ruling in the middle 2nd century CE.[1] Amanikhatashan is known only from her tomb in Meroë, designated as Beg. N 18.[2]
The objects found in Amanikhatashan's tomb place her as reigning at some point in the first or second centuries CE.[2] The artwork in the tomb is stylistically close to the artwork in the tomb Beg. N 16, which suggests that Amanikhatashan reigned close to the ruler buried in that tomb.[2] Beg. N 16 may have belonged to King Amanikhareqerem and dates to the end of the 1st century CE.[3] Assuming a mid-2nd century CE reign, Amanikhatashan is conventionally (speculatively) placed as the successor of Amanitenmemide and the predecessor of Tarekeniwal.[3]
