Amenirdis I

Amenirdis I

The Ancient Kushite princess commonly known as Amenirdis I was the daughter of Kashta and sister of Piye [Shaw op.cit p.347] and Shabaka. Kashta arranged to have her adopted by the Divine Adoratrice of Amun, Shepenupet I, at Thebes as her successor [Peden op.cit. p.276] This shows that Kashta already controlled Upper Egypt prior to the reign of Piye, his successor. [László Török, The Kingdom of Kush: Handbook of the Napatan-Meroitic Civilization. (Handbuch der Orientalistik 31), Brill 1997. p.149]

Upon her death, she was buried in a tomb in the grounds of Medinet-Habu.
