Amanislo was a Nubian king. He is known from his pyramid Beg S5 in Meroe and from two lion figures from Gebel Barkal (so-called Prudhoe lions ), on which he put his name, but originally from Pharaoh Amenophis III. come.
Amanislo probably dates back to the 3rd century BC. He ruled after Steffen Wenig around 260 to 250 BC. The position of his pyramid may indicate that he was the successor of Arkamaniqo ( Ergamenes I). His throne name was Anchbeferibre .
Amanislo appears as Amonasro in Auguste Mariette's scenario for the libretto of Verdi's Aida .
