Amenirdis I
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ancient Kushite princess commonly known as Amenirdis I was the daughter of Kashta and sister of Piye and Shabaka. Kashta arranged to have her adopted by the Divine Adoratrice of Amun, Shepenupet I, at Thebes as her successor; this proves that he already controlled Upper Egypt prior to the reign of Piye, his successor.
On her death, she was buried in a tomb in the grounds of Medinet-Habu.
