Amanikhabale is known from inscriptions from Kawa, Basa, and Naqa, as well as a broken stela from Meroë.

George Andrew Reisner suggested that Amanikhabale was buried in Pyramid 2 at the North cemetery (Beg. N 2) at Meroe (Bagrawiyah), largely supported by scholars since. Amanikhabale's name is known from a fragment of a table found in Beg. N 3, which can be fitted together with fragments in Beg. N 2 and Beg. N 4. The table designates his mother as the queen regnant Nawidemak. This further supports Beg. N 2 as his burial since it has close palaeographic similarities with Nawidemak's tomb, Bar. 6.
