Amanichareqerem
Amanichareqerem was a Nubian king who ruled in the first century AD. In addition to his proper name Amanichareqerem , the throne name Nebmaatre is occupied by him .
General
Amanichareqerem can be found on two ram figures and the so-called "Omphalos of Napata ". Recent finds show that the ruler was also active in building, especially in Naqa (Naga). From there comes a recently found sandstone medallion, which connects him with the construction of the Temple of Naga. The reliefs there are among the finest examples of Nubian art.
The ruler has been dated to the second century AD, but the paleography of his inscriptions and the style of his temple in Naqa suggest that he ruled shortly after Natakamani .
