Tamelerdeamani was a king of Kush who ruled in the second half of the 3rd century AD.[1] He was the younger half-brother of his predecessor, Teqorideamani.[2] His successor is not known, though may based on the overall chronology have been Talakhidamani.[1]
Tamelerdeamani is known only from an inscription on an offering table.[2] Like other monarchs of his time he was presumably buried at Meroë. He has speculatively been attributed either pyramid Beg. N 27[2][3] or pyramid Beg. N 34.[4] Beg. N 34 is no longer supported as Tamelerdeamani's tomb; older scholarship sometimes erroneously dated him to the early 2nd century AD over a confusion of sources, the time in which that pyramid was built. Beg. N 27 is now more supported since Tamelerdeamani necessarily reigned after his older half-brother, who is known to have been king in the 250s.[2]
