Amanikhalika is the name often attributed to a Kushite queen regnant buried in pyramid Beg N. 32 in Meroë. If the attribution is correct, Amanikhalika would have reigned in the second half of the 2nd century CE based on her known relations to other monarchs.
==Sources and chronology== Amanikhalika's name is known only from the offering table of the later king Aritenyesbokhe, which identifies Aritenyesbokhe's parents as Tarekeniwal and Amanikhalika. Tarekeniwal is presumably identical to the Kushite king of the same name, buried in pyramid Beg. N 19. If Amanikhalika is to be identified with the queen in Beg. N 32 she was thus originally Tarekeniwal's queen consort. Identification with Amanikhalika would place this queen's reign in the second half of the 2nd century CE, since the reigns of both Tarekeniwal and Aritenyesbokhe are dated to this time.
