Amanishakheto was a queen regnant (kandake) of Kush who reigned in the early 1st century AD.[1] In Meroitic hieroglyphs her name is written "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").[2]
Amanishakheto is believed to have been the direct successor of the earlier queen regnant Amanirenas.[1][3] Amanishakheto's mother is recorded to have been named Ar(...)tḫwit; the relation between Amanishakheto and Amanirenas is thus unknown.[3] The chronologically next Kushite ruler, and thus Amanishakheto's possible successor, was another queen regnant, Shanakdakhete.[1]
