supporting documents
This ruler is known from two groups of monuments. His pyramid Nu 12 in Nuri is one of the largest in the Nuri cemetery . It has a side length of 26.25 m and was extended at least once, probably under the ruler. The original dimensions correspond to those of the other pyramids of this time, only the expansion made them particularly large. In Kawa he put three long inscriptions on the temple of Amun there, which inform us in detail about his reign.
origin
Arikamaninote was the son of King Malowijebamani and the successor of Talachamani , who was probably the younger brother of Malowijebamani. Arikamaninote ascended to the throne at the age of 41 and ruled for at least 25 years.
Enthronement
The longest text, engraved on the east wall of the hypostyle hall of Temple T, tells of the enthronement of the ruler and his journey to all important places in the country, where he apparently had to obtain the benevolence of Amun for his government.
The inscription begins with the ruler's title. Thereafter the death of Talachamani is reported, who died in Meroe, a clear indication that this city was already used as a residence at that time. During this time the king heard of the revolt of the Rhrh nomads. Arikamaninote now became king chosen and then suppressed the rebellion. Arikamaninote now traveled from Meroe to Napata , where he was crowned king. Then he went to Kertjen and fought against the Meded nomads. Next he went to Kawa , where he was enthroned again in the Temple of Amun, and he repeated the same thing in pnubs . He then drove back to Kawa, where he celebrated a festival for Amun, made donations to the temple and held a night and day procession of the god. Then the king mother came to Kawa. Further enthronement rites followed and further donations to the Temple of Amun were listed. Finally the ruler goes to the temple of Kawa and speaks to Amun- Re there.
