Malonaken Sekhemkare |
Malonaqen was a Meroitic king who probably governed in the first half of the 6th century BC. His prenomen was "Sekhemkare."
He is thought to be the son of king Aramatle-qo and queen Amanitakaye although this is based merely on assumptions. His queen consort is thought to be Tagtal, who was buried at Nuri (Nu. 45).
He is well known from his pyramid (Nu.5) at Nuri as well as by a votive cartouche from Kawa and on blocks (from temple M 242, 294) and other objects in Meroë.
