Pyramid of King Anlamani

18.5346°N, 31.8344°E.

The pyramid of king Anlamani at Nuri, built for a Napatan ruler who reigned approximately 623–593 BCE — son of Senkamanisken and elder brother of Aspelta. Original base 19 metres per side; original height around 16 metres at the steep slope characteristic of the Nuri royal pyramids. Excavated by George Reisner in 1917. The substructure preserved a granite burial chamber, the remains of a wooden coffin, and a series of foundation deposits including faience figurines and inscribed bronze tools. The mortuary chapel on the east face produced a stela now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts inscribed with a record of Anlamani's coronation at Napata and his subsequent visit to the temple of Amun at Kawa, where he dedicated his sister-wives Madiqen, Yeturow, Khalsa, and Pelekhensa as priestesses of Amun in the four major Kushite temple cities.

A pyramid for a king whose principal recorded act was placing four of his sisters as high priestesses across the kingdom — the only documented royal sister-priesthood appointment in Kushite history.
