The first ruler of ancient Egypt was Narmer, also known as Menes, who lived around 3100 BC. He is credited with unifying Upper and Lower Egypt by defeating the king of Lower Egypt and wearing the double crown of both regions. He also founded the first dynasty and established the capital at Memphis.

Cleopatra, last pharaoh of Egypt, may be the most famous female ruler in all of history. But her Roman enemies made her notorious for all the wrong reasons: her political ambitions, her sumptuous lifestyle, and above all her love affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony.

Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt, is known for her relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Her reign marks the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the beginning of Roman Egypt.
 

In ancient Egypt, queens had important positions and sway. They were regarded as the pharaoh's chief wife and frequently went by the moniker "Great Royal Wife". Nefertiti, the wife of Akhenaten, and Nefertari, the wife of Ramses II, are two notable queens.

 

Typically, the son or male heir of the preceding pharaoh was the head of state in ancient Egypt. There were, however, certain instances in which queens or other family members took on the responsibility. Depending on the conditions and the particular dynasty, several selection procedures were used.

The pharaoh served as a divine ruler and guardian of the maat, or divinely ordained order. He administered justice to his subjects, controlled the usage of a sizable piece of Egypt's territory, and was in charge of the material and spiritual well-being of his people. He ruled by royal order, and his will was final. 

 

The "Pharaohs, Queens, and Rulers of Egypt" tour immerses you in the intriguing world of the ancient Egyptian rulers and society through a historical adventure. The main objective of this journey is to investigate the tombs, temples, and monuments connected to pharaohs, queens, and other notable ancient Egyptian rulers. It provides information about their accomplishments, way of life, and rich cultural legacy.

Pharaohs were the heads of state and the religious authorities of their people when they ruled over ancient Egypt. The palace where the pharaoh resides is referred to as the "Great House" in the word "pharaoh." Although the early Egyptian kings were referred to as "kings," the term "pharaoh" persisted over time. 

 

King Tutankhamun, often referred to as King Tut, was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who ruled during the 14th century BCE. He ascended to the throne at a young age and is notable for his intact tomb, which was discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter. The discovery of his tomb shed light on the wealth and treasures of ancient Egypt and provided valuable insights into the period.

Pharaohs ruled all of ancient Egypt with unquestionable authority and were revered as gods. As political and religious leaders, they were in charge of upholding law and order, managing building projects, and directing military operations.

Tutankhamun, also known as Tutankhamun, was a pharaoh in ancient Egypt during the Neolithic period of the ancient empires. He ruled from about 1332 to 1323 BC.

Pharaohs were the heads of state and the religious authorities of their people when they ruled over ancient Egypt.

An archetypal picture of a pharaoh. For around 2500 years, Egypt was continuously ruled, at least in part, by native pharaohs. However, in the late 8th century BC, Egypt was captured by the Kingdom of Kush, whose rulers took on the customary pharaonic titulature for themselves. 

 

The ancient city of Luxor, also known as ancient Thebes, is home to one of the most important temples in ancient Egypt: Luxor Temple. Let's explore this magnificent temple:

The history of the temple's construction:
The Luxor Temple was founded around 1400 BC.
It was built to worship Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu, the gods also known as the Theban Triad.
The most important buildings in the temple were built during the reigns of the 18th and 19th Dynasty kings1.
Description of the temple:
Luxor Temple is located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city of Luxor today.
It is considered one of the best preserved and most beautiful Egyptian temples.
The layout of the Egyptian temple is clearly visible1.
Luxor Temple represents an important part of the history of ancient Egypt and reflects the splendor of ancient Egyptian architecture.

  From the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt circa 3100 BCE until Alexander the Great's invasion of Egypt in 332 BCE, the ancient Egyptian civilization spanned thousands of years. Several periods, such as the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, and Late Period, are frequently used to categorize this time period. 
 

The Great Wife, the pharaoh's primary consort, or perhaps a lower-ranking wife whom the pharaoh preferred, gave birth to the sons or declared heirs of the previous pharaoh.


 

The most important dynasty of the Mamluks was the cavalry class that ruled Egypt in the Middle Ages, which originated from the ranks of slave soldiers. They were mostly Turks, Egyptian Copts, Circassians, Abkhazians and Kurds. Many were also of Balkan origin (Albanians, Greeks, and South Slavs).

 Several causes played a part in the fall of the Old Kingdom, but the primary one was the Pharaoh's authority being undermined and the aristocracy and priesthood's power increasing at the same time. This resulted in ongoing power struggles, civil conflict, and the decentralization of power in Egypt.
