In this episode of The Kingdom of Kush, Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Queen Amanitenmomide, one of the last ruling kandakes of Meroë in the early 4th century CE. With the kingdom in decline, she commissioned one of the largest pyramid tombs at Begrawiya North, inscribed with a lengthy Meroitic text that includes a unique reference to the god Sebiumeker. We examine the challenges of deciphering her name, the archaeological evidence from her pyramid (Beg. N 21), and the political context of Kush's final century. Discover how this forgotten queen navigated waning trade, the growing threat from Aksum, and the shifting religious landscape as Meroitic culture faced its end. A story of resilience and the twilight of an empire.
