as faar as i remeber there is a a ledger on a wall in egypt (sry dont rember where) with most of the rulers in succesive order, im not sure there was any time frames there, but its a good place to start perhaps..

My favorite source of Ancient Egyptian information is Ancient Architects. If it's a fact, it's presented as fact. If it's a hypothesis, it's backed up by sourced information. If it's speculation, it's presented purely as speculation and why. I have learned so much following Matt. There's another interesting Egyptology site called History for Granite, he's pretty good too. Many thanks to you two.

Thank you for pointing to this early female Pharao. Just for comparison: Still in German Medieval History we have the fascinating Empress Theophanu, a Greek Princess, being married to Otto II., Son of Kaiser Otto the Great. When Otto II. died early, the son Otto III. was still a child. So Theophanu arranged a peace with her stepmom... because both were sure, that their alliance would be the only chance for the child Otto III., to survive and take over the throne, when getting old enough. The ladies succeeded, and Theophanu became the only female empereor of the holy roman empire. She reigned superb, by the way :)

I always thought the first female pharaoh was queen Merneith of 1st dynasty? she even got a royal mastaba tomb at Umm el-Qab.

It’s possible she ruled in her own right, but it’s debated and there is no consensus yet, much like Khentkawes.

@@AncientArchitects exactly. in my personal opinion, these debates are ridiculous. just because archaeologists and egyptologists of earlier times were over-patriarchaic and didn't want women to rule we still have these ridiculous debates. contemporary inscriptions from 1st dynasty tell otherwise: women had the same heritage and dynastical rights as men.

​@@phoneguy4637 Egyptologists still think that stones, even with the strongest density, were cut and polished to the perfection by only using copper chisels tools 😂. Lots of conclusions that are still used today instead of saying that they don't know. Paper thin bowls and urns ⚱️ made out of stones that are impossible to reproduce today. Any vibration would damage those stone bowls or urns but still that's the explanation from Egyptologists 😂 that they were made with copper chisels. Egyptology will evolve eventually

​@@ChristianPareATLASThey also used harder stone to work softer stone, in addition to copper tools. They made some fine bowls and urns, but if those survived a move to the museum intact 4 thousand years after they were built, I wouldn't call them so fragile that vibrations from tools would break them. They're fragile in the sense that you could smash them... but we do have the capability to make stuff like that today. We can manipulate molecules, and even atoms. We can make MUCH thinner materials than the Egyptians could imagine, never mind make.

Interestingly, the date Diodorus gives for the Great Pyramid(3500BCE) lines up with the Sumerian King List's numbers for Kubaba's rule. Which might have something to do with why she is associated with a mountain.

Notice the vertical erosion lines in the bedrock of the side of the mustaba/pyramid similar to the lines around sphynx enclosure. Blows holes in many sphynx enclosure erosion theories

Very interesting! Its fascinating because it was so long ago, 4500 years! 🐪

Is the papyrus scepter a water fountain?

Thank you.

Neithhotep and Merneith was (maybe) early pharaos. 1. dynasty.

We know where kings were buried. Where did they live? Lots of temples, but palaces?

It’s possible she ruled in her own right, but it’s debated and there is no consensus yet, much like Khentkawes.

Here’s my theory on the two pyramids of Khentkawes: originally the pyramid at Giza attributed to her was meant to be her burial place but her son wanted to strengthen his claim to the throne because she was a princess of a previous ruling dynasty, and also because her original tomb might have been targeted, hence why a different tomb was built for her. If she is the earliest known queen regnant then it would rewrite history.

What about Steward, holding the throne for a prince?

Regarding "History for Granit"'s video that The Great Pyramid was intended to be a place of worship, this ties well together with that theory. The satellite pyramid being just that, while the one at Abu Sir is the real burial place so... WHAT IF all the the temples and pyramids at the Giza plateau is just for worship and none of them are tombs? A central hub to pay respect, both to former pharaohs and gods...

Notice the sloped erosion below her Temple; (quite differnt from the; "leveled," Temple above)! The Sphinx has the same sloped erosion pattern; showing that this was a Natural occurrence; [way before the actual Sphinx]; (was Polygonally bricked into existence).

You should check out the latest episode of Earth Ancients. 2 guys on that show photo evidence of all the tunnels and hidden temples etc in Egypt. Specifically Giza. It's crazy the amount we aren't told about what's STILL under those sands! The older man apparently went into these secret places in the early 90s.

I actually find the idea and the thoughts around it, Being a first female ruler, funny because after, we all have mothers that rule our lives as we grow from child to adult. So, a mother is a ruler and every "great" person in history has been ruled by a woman. Just an interesting tid-bit.

All these statues have really big noses and lips.....

fist!

I wonder how much Egyptian statues and artifacts lie somewhere in the Nile and the Mediterranean Sea from all the pillaging done by it over the millennia.

Very typical to have a female "ruler" at the end of dynasties who takes over when nobody else wants to because the game is up either way.

Matt, have you ever considered that the Sphinx depictions of Egyptian Rulers may have just been how they actually looked? 🧠

How can you tell if its a girly pyramid?

What's great about this girl is that she was able to build all of Egypt with little more than a copper chisel and a stone pounder. OH.. and she did it in about 23 years.
