Proper understanding of the paleography, grammar, and content reveals Katimala to have been a Nubian ruler at the time of the Twenty-First to Twenty-Second Dynasties of Ancient Egypt. She emerges as a political and military leader who took control of at least Lower Nubia in the wake of failed military activities on the part of a male predecessor. Katimala's inscription is not illegible, as has often been stated, but is a well-composed Lower Nubian example of a politico-religious manifesto applying many of the conventions of early Egyptian literary and historical compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale Egyptology","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969744322711,"sku":"9780974002538","price":2467.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780974002538.webp?v=1782923724","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-inscription-of-queen-katimala-at-semna-textual-evidence-for-the-origins-of-the-napatan-state-9780974002538","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
