Monuments
[edit | edit source]Aramatle-qo is primarily attested by his pyramid Nu 9 in Nuri which dates to the end of the 6th or the 5th century BC. A votive object bearing his name originates from Meroe.[5] A piece of jewelry from Aramatle-qo's pyramid, a gold collar necklace which bears his name, was found here. It may have belonged to the king himself or to one of his courtiers.
