Tanyidamani
Tanyidamani was a Nubian king.
It is known from a number of objects, including a large stele from Mount Barkal, described in Meroitic , and a smaller stele from the Apedemak temple in Meroe . The large stele is the first long-known text in Meroitic. A bronze cylinder, which was found in Gebel Barkal is still with Egyptian hieroglyphics described and called the throne and proper name of the ruler, but these are the same: Tanyidamani. The Meroitic inscriptions give only one name. Apparently, with the introduction of the Meroitic script and language, the five-part royal statute from Egypt was abandoned. It is not documented in Meroitic texts and only occurs occasionally when later rulers wrote texts in Egyptian hieroglyphics. The term qore in the Meroitic texts probably means king and seems to be the only part of a royal statute.
Tanyidamani probably dates to around 100 BC. Until now no pyramid could be assigned to him.
