Nitocris I (Divine Adoratrice)
Nitocris I (alt. Nitiqret, Nitokris I) (died 585 BC) served as the heir to and then the Divine Adoratrice of Amun or God's Wife of Amun for a period of over seventy years, between 655 BC and 585 BC.〔Aidan Dodson & Dyan Hilton, The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt, Thames & Hudson (2004), p.247〕
==Biography==
She was the daughter of the 26th Dynasty pharaoh Psamtik I. Psamtik I dispatched a powerful naval fleet in March 656 BC to Thebes and compelled the serving God's Wife of Amun Shepenupet II, a daughter of Piye to adopt his daughter Nitocris I as her heir to this office in the well known Adoption Stela.〔James H. Breasted, ''Ancient Records of Egypt,'' Part Four, §§ 942ff.: The adoption stela of Nitocris〕 It is unknown at what date she actually assumed the office of Divine Adoratrice of Amun for herself but she served in this position until Year 4 of Apries in 585 BC.
Prior to her career in this office, the Assyrians had invaded Egypt in 671 BC, sacked Thebes and robbed its temples of their many treasures. When she was in her eighties, she adopted her great-niece Ankhnesneferibre,〔I. E. S. Edwards, John Boardman, John B. Bury, S. A. Cook, ''The Cambridge Ancient History'', p.733〕 the daughter of Psamtik II.
During her tenure, she was attested by several building works around Karnak, Luxor and Abydos.〔 She was buried in the grounds of Medinet Habu〔Pascal Vernus, Jean Yoyotte, ''The Book of the Pharaohs'', Cornell University Press 2003. p.1〕 in a tomb chapel which "she shared with her natural mother and adoptive grandmother."〔 Her sarcophagus was reused in a Ptolemaic tomb at Deir el-Medina, and is today located in the Cairo Museum.〔
