Harsiotef

Harsiotef was a Kushite King of Meroe (about 404 – 369 BC). Harsiotef took on a full set of titles based on those of the Egyptian Pharaohs: Horus name: Kanakht Khaemnepet ("Mighty Bull appears in Napata") Nebty Name: Nednetjeru ("Who seeks the council of Gods") Golden Horus Name: Uftikhesutnebut ("Subduer given all the Desert Lands") Prenomen: Sameryamun ("Beloved son of Amun") Nomen: Harsiotef ("Horus Son of his Father") Harsiotef was the son of Queen Atasamale and likely of King Amanineteyerike. He had a wife named Queen Batahaliye and may have had another wife named Queen Pelkha. If Queen Pelkha was his wife, he would also be the father of King Nastasen. It is possible that King Akhraten was also a son of Harsiotef, and Queen Sakhmakh, the wife of Nastasen, may be his daughter.
