Pyramids of Meroe with emphasis on pyramid N9 attributed to Adikhalamani

Adikhalamani was a Nubian king who lived around 207–186 BC. Ruled.

Adikhalamani is known from two sources. In the Amun and Isis sacred Temple of Debod in Nubia he brought to inscriptions. There is also a stele of the king from Philae .

The temple of Debod was started by Ptolemy IV . During his reign, Upper Egypt fell away from the Ptolemies , the Meroitic kings invaded Lower Nubia and ruled this land. The revolt in Upper Egypt did not come until 186 BC. To be knocked down.

The stele of the Adikhalamani of Philae is one of the last extensive texts by a Nubian king in Egyptian hieroglyphics . His successors used the Meroitic script instead .

The pyramid Beg N9 in Meroe has been attributed to the ruler , but a tabirqa appears there. The assignment therefore remains uncertain.
