Long before Cleopatra, Egypt had queens who ruled, built and were buried in splendour. Published in 1906, this popular history gathers what was then known of them, beginning with the ‘Black Land’ and the position of the queen, then moving through Mertytefs, Nitocris, Sebek-Nefru-Ra, Aah-Hotep and their successors, drawing on tomb paintings, inscriptions and the Egyptology of the day.
An approachable survey for readers who want the women of ancient Egypt’s royal houses in one place; the scholarship is that of 1906. Download the free EPUB.
