Akhraten (also transliterated Akhratan) was a King of Kush (ca. 350 BCE – 335 BCE).
Akhraten took on at least some titles based on those used by the Egyptian pharaohs.[1]
Akhratan may have been a son of Harsiotef and a brother of Nastasen.[2]
Akhratan is known from a cartouche in a chapel and from a black granite statue found in Barkal Temple 500, now located in Boston (23.735).[2] The statue is headless and is missing its feet.
Akhraten may have been succeeded as King of Kush by Nastasen, but some scholars suggest that a king named Amanibakhi may have ruled between Akraten and Nastasen.[1]
