Pharaohs, Queens and Rulers of Egypt

It is said that he ruled for more than 18 years. King Khafre left us a beautiful diorite statue found in the Valley Temple and now in the Egyptian Museum, and decided to build himself a great pyramid in Giza, like the pyramid of his father Cheops.

King Menkaure, the fifth king of the 4th Dynasty in the ancient kingdom of ancient Egyptian, assumed the throne after the death of his father, King Khafre. He built the third largest pyramid at Giza. It is possible that he died suddenly, so his son Shabskaf completed the construction of this pyramid.

Queen Hatshepsut is undoubtedly the best-known female ruler of the world, especially ancient Egypt after Cleopatra VII, and one of the most successful queens in Egyptian history. She is also known as Ghanemat Amun Hatshepsut, and her name means the Dora of princesses or the concubine of Amun, the favorite of the ladies, and she is considered the fifth in the line of kings of the XVIII Dynasty.

Alexander the Great, ruler of Macedonia, conqueror of the Persian Empire, is one of the smartest and greatest war leaders of all time. He was the son of King Philip II of Macedon and became king after his father's death in 336 B.C. He conquered most of the known world of his time. Hence known as "the great" for both his military genius and his diplomatic skills in handling the diverse populations of the regions he conquered.

Had his glittering, treasure-filled tomb not been discovered, the world would not have known King Tutankhamun, who became the talk of archaeologists and became one of the most important Egyptian explorations found in the Luxor Governorate in the Valley of Kings and Queens.

Akhenaton was the first Egyptian king to think of a latent power behind the disk of the sun. He called this power the name of a god, Aton, and after that, he left all the Egyptian gods and left Thebes where the priests of Amun and his followers were present and established a new city. He lived in this city for about 17 years worshipping this new god, but his only mistake was that he made people worship the new god through him, so when Akhenaton died, the new worship of Aton ended completely. And that's before considering his marriage to Nefertiti, known as the Mona Lisa of antiquity thanks to her beautiful limestone bust discovered in a sculptor's workshop at Amarna and now in the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, or the likelihood that he fathered Tutankhamun, the most famous pharaoh of them all.

Ramses II is the most famous King of ancient Egypt who built the Abu Simbel Temple which is an archaeological site located on the mountain south of Aswan and is distinguished from other temples of the ancient Egyptians by the occurrence of a phenomenon that is the most important among the 4,500 astronomical phenomena witnessed in Pharaonic Egypt and attracted the attention of the world when the sun passes over the face of Ramses II inside his temple twice a year.

Mohamed Ali Pasha was the founder of the dynasty that ruled Egypt from the early nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century, that is, the founder of modern Egypt.

King Thutmosis III, is the greatest ruler of Egypt throughout history, as he is the founder of the first Egyptian empire. He treated the people of the conquered countries with noble treatment; they lived in peace and prosperity after joining the Egyptian Empire. None of the records mention that he lost any battle and there are some obelisks he built in different places of the world today. One of them is located in Central Park in New York State, and the other is located on the banks of the Thames River in London, and both have a strange name, "Cleopatra's Needle"!
