  5. In ancient Egypt ladies were equal with men and they could be leaders and Pharaohs too.

    Nefertiti was a queen and her husband, Akhenaten, was a Pharaoh. She was called other names too: lady of grace, Sweet of love and Lady of the two lands.

    Cleopatra is a really famous Pharaoh. When the man she fell in love with who was called mark Antony died she got a snake to bite her so she would die too.

    Tiye was a queen and was married to a pharaoh. She was born in 1398bc and was Tutankhamun s grandmother. Her mummy was found in 2010 and it was called the elder lady.

  6. 1) h e a u h p s s t - She dressed up pretending to be a man. Why?

    This is Queen Hatshepsut (the name in Egypt means leader of noble women).

    When her husband died, she became a strong woman ruler. She held power for 20 years before her step son became King. Her step son was not king initially, because when his father died he was just five years old. But beacuse women could not rule for a long time, Hatshepsut dressed up like a male and was seen as a man, this was her way of holding power for a longer then usual time. When she died her step son broke all her statues and rubbed her name from all monuments in Egypt.

    2) a c p o t l e a r - A famous Queen who married a Roman Soldier.

    This is Queen Cleopatra (the name in Egypt means fame of her father).

    Queen Cleopatra was the seventh queen to have that name, and was the last pharaoh of a famous dynasty in the Greco-Roman period. She was Queen from 51 to 30 BC. Cleopatra was originally a ruler alongside her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes. After he died she ruled with her brothers, and married one of them too, Ptolemy XIV (this was normal back then) but eventually she became the sole ruler. Later on Queen Cleopatra married the famous Julias Ceaser, who was leader of the new Roman Empire. Cleopatra was the only Greek pharaoh who learned the speak the Egyptian language.

    3) r i f e t e i n t - She was married to Akhenaten

    This is Queen Nefertiti (the name in Egypt means beautiful beloved one).

    Queen Nefertiti was the wife of Akhenaten and she helped him establish a new city at Amarna on the east bank of the River Nile in Egypt. She is the only one queen that has a famous bust, showing her head wearing a crown and necklace rich with jewels. Often Nefertiti is confused with Nefertari, who was the favorite wife of Ramesses the Great around 1275 BC.

  10. Nefertiti was queen alongside Pharaoh Akhenaten from 1353 to 1336 B.C. and may have ruled the New Kingdom outright after her husband’s death. Her reign was a time of tremendous cultural upheaval, as Akhenaten reoriented Egypt’s religious and political structure around the worship of the sun god Aten. Nefertiti is best known for her painted sandstone bust, which was rediscovered in 1913 and became a global icon of feminine beauty and power.

  15. Hatshepsut was a princess born to Thutmose 1. She had one sister and two brothers, sadly all of her brothers and sisters died young. Thutmose was now getting worried because who would be Pharaoh after he died. So he decided to name one of Hatshepsut’s half-brothers her heir. Hatshepsut married her half-brother in order to keep the royal line pure. Her father died then and she and her husband were the rulers of Egypt but soon Hatshepsut’s husband died making her the queen of Egypt. Still there was one problem, Hatshepsut has no son to be Pharaoh after here her. Her nephew was still young but was given the thrown. This occurred but still Hatshepsut was still ruling she ran a good reign in Egypt. To convince people she was really a Pharaoh she dressed up as one and ruled until she died.
    Cleopatra was another famous queen who was born to Ptolemy she had a tough life. When her father died she became queen and married her brother who was ten. Latter when her brother got older he was argent to take the throne of her, so after a long fight he got the throne of her and became the Pharaoh. Then the romans came and defeated her brother’s army and she became the queen again. She married Julius Caesar and had one child. When he died Cleopatra fell in love with one of the other rulers that were now in Rome. She joined forces with him and lived a long life until she killed herself when heard that the ruler that had loved her had die in the not of she being dead.
    Nefertiti was a beautiful person and her name translated means beauty through blood. Despite her beauty she was also famous for marrying Akhenaton who was a brilliant Pharaoh. She was most famous for being on the falls of Akhenaton’s tomb which showed how beautiful she was in that time and the beautiful artwork of the Egyptians to respect to all the pharaohs and queens at their time.

  17. Nefertiti was the wife of ikhnaton, who ruled from 1367 to 1355 BCE. She had great influence over her husbands policies.

    Usually, however, the only women who held important titles were priestesses. known to history simply as Cleopatra, was the last active pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt, shortly survived as pharaoh by her son Caesarion. After her reign, Egypt became a province of the then recently established Roman Empire. (i've writen more because we know more about cleopatra)
