AMENIRDIS I

The Ancient Kushite princess commonly known as 'Amenirdis I' was the daughter of Kashta and sister of Piye [1] and Shabaka. Kashta arranged to have her adopted by the Divine Adoratrice of Amun, Shepenupet I, at Thebes as her successor [2]; 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.
