Amaninatakilebte was a Meroitic king who ruled in the 6th century, probably between 538 to 519 BCE at Napata. He succeeded King Analmaye and was in turn succeeded by King Karkamani. Like others of his dynasty, he was discovered buried among the pyramid chambers at Nuri, specifically Nuri 10. These remains, along with engraved blocks at Meroe, are the only known records of the ruler. Also significant is the gold cylinder discovered with the ruler in this pyramid, not unlike those found buried with King Aspelta in Nuri 8, but the function of which remains obscure.^[1]

According to Herodotus, the Persian King, Cambyses attempted an invasion of Meroe in about 525 BC which was possibly during the time of Amaninatakilebte.^[2]

Preceded by: Analmaye	Rulers of Kush	Succeeded by: Karkamani
