Atlanersa

Atlanersa

Atlanersa was a Nubian king who ruled around 653 to 640 BC as the successor of Tantamani, the last ruler of the 25th Nubian dynasty in Egypt. In contrast to his predecessor, Atlanersa's kingdom was restricted to the region of Kush south of the Aswan.

Atlanersa was the son of king Taharqa. His mother was a queen whose name is not fully preserved, but ended with ...salka. Atlanersa was married to his two sisters: Yeturow and Khalese. However, the mother of his successor Senkamanisken was Malotaral, who was obviously a lesser wife of this king.

Atlanersa is known from depictions and a granite stand found in the temple of Jebel Barkal. An altar was also found there inscribed with his name. At Dongola, the fragment of an obelisk was discovered with his name. He was buried in pyramid Nu. 20 at Nuri.
