Amanishakheto was a Kandake of Nubia. She seems to have reigned from 10 BC to 1 AD although most dates of Nubian history before the Middle Ages are very uncertain. In Meroitic hieroglyphs her name is written as Amanikasheto (Mniskhte or (Am)niskhete). In Meroitic cursive she is referred to as Amaniskheto qor kd(ke) which means Amanishakheto Qore and Kandake (Ruler and Queen).Amanishakheto is known from several monuments.
