Nuatmeawn (Tanautamun) (??? ruled over Egypt 668 BCE to 664 BCE) cf. Tanutanami Son of Shabaka. Taharqa's nephew. After Assyria left Egypt in 663 BC, he invaded Egypt just like his father and grandfather (Piye) did. He ruled both Egypt and Nubia for eleven years. The Assyrians attacked Thebes, killed many of the people, and looted all the holy places. From this point on, the Nubian kings never again entered Egypt. Tanwetamani continued his rule in Nubia and was buried in the old family cemetery at El-Kurru. Archaeologists found beautiful painted chambers in his tomb. The only known statue of the king, found at Jebel Barkal, is now in the Toledo (Ohio) Museum of Art, but sadly it lacks its head  write a comment or suggest a text,  search on Googlethis entry was last changed Sep 16, 2007 | |||||||||||||||
