Takahatenamun (Takahatamun,Takhahatamani) was aNubian queen dated to theTwenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt.^[2]

Takahat(en)amun was the daughter of KingPiye and the sister-wife of KingTaharqa. She held several titles: Noble Lady (iryt p't), Great of Praises (wrt hzwt), King's Wife (hmt niswt), Lady of All Women (hnwt hmwt nbwt), and King's Sister (snt niswt).^[3]

Takahat(en)amun is known from a temple scene of thetemple of Mut inGebel Barkal where she is shown standing behind Taharqa who is offering toAmun-Re andMut.^[2][3]

George Andrew Reisner proposed that Takatamun might have been buried inNuri in Tomb 21. The tomb is dated, however, to the time of KingSenkamanisken, meaning that the queen would have had to have died in her seventies or later if she were buried there.^[4]
