| Abstract God's wife of Amun had many titles ; priestly titles ,royal titles ,and political titles . In this research . It was discussed a lot of these titles . These titles explained the great role of the god's wife of Amun in controlling the country and that she was equal to the king in every thing .They had a throne name formed with the name of the goddesss Mut like Aminridis I, Ankhnesneferibre and Nitocris .The political role of God's wife of Amun played an important role in Egyptian politics ,Aminridis I and Shepenupet II represented the Kushite power in Thebes and in Egypt .They participated alongside the king in the organization and maintenance of the state .Shepenwept II was described as "sovereign of the double country ". The pharaohs transferred the titles of honor and manifestations of authority that had been in the hands of the senior priests of Amun to their own princess who did not marry so that they could remain under the pharaohs' rule, which helped raise the position of the Divine wife of Amun to an unprecedented height. | ||||
