AMENIRDIS


AMENIRDIS. The name of two princesses of Dynasty 25 who were
adopted as God’s wife of Amun. Amenirdis I was the daughter of
Kashta and Pebtama, and her adoption by Shepenwepet I was an indication
of the control of Thebes exercised by the ruler of Nubia.
Amenirdis II, daughter of Taharqo, was adopted by Shepenwepet II
as her heir, but it is not certain if she succeeded, as Dynasty 25 was
ousted from Thebes by Psamtik I of Dynasty 26, who sent his
daughter, Nitocris, to become God’s wife
