Karkamani was a Meroitic king who ruled in the 6th century, probably between 519 to 510 BC at Napata. He succeeded King Amaninatakilebte and was in turn succeeded by King Amaniastabarqa.[1] Like others of his dynasty, he was discovered buried among the pyramid chambers at Nuri, specifically Nuri 7.[2]
