There were many pharaohs of Egypt including, Tut, Zozer, and Khufu, but there are some that need to be recognized. The first one is a pharaoh named Menes who brang Egypt together, then there was Hatshepsut who expanded borders and sent out explorers to trade with others, and finally there was Akhenaten who changed art and religion in egypt and may have started monotheism. If we didn’t have these pharaohs the world would be a much different place now because Egypt might not have been what it is today. We learn about many pharaohs in history in school, but these pharaohs were the most important. These Kings and Queen were staples of Egypt’s economy then and now.…

Intelligence plays a key role in being truly “great”. Alexander The Great was exceptionally intelligent, and assembled his army to achieve greatness. As a kid, Alexander’s mother and father hired a teacher for Alexander. As stated in The background essay, ”philosopher Aristotle taught him academic subjects, politics, sports, and warfare.” Thus, Alexander became very smart at a young age and continued to gain knowledge throughout his childhood.…
Despite what many think, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt did not succeed each other as an unbroken, patrilineal chain by any means. By the Eighteenth Dynasty, the state of kingship had recovered is authority from the Asiatic ruling of the Second Intermediate Period. Hatshepsut, one of the most well-known female kings of Egypt, is a clear outlier to what one would expect from a typical pharaoh. Her story, in summary, involves her gaining control over administration after King Thutmose II, her husband and step-brother, dies, and using that as a stepping stone to claim solitary kingship rather than continuing a life of co-regency – meaning, shared kingship – with Thutmose III, the originally intended male heir and her step-son. This essay will analyze…
Have you ever took time to think about what happen to to King Tut? To think of how he died at such a young age. I think he was killed by Aye, his army general. Aye could have killed him to get the throne, to be the Pharaoh of Egypt. That would be because he ended up married to Anka so he could become king. I also think that Aye and Tey, his first wife teamed up so they could rule together.…
In the midst of oppressive rulers, many times throughout history the people of a civilization seek outside help in order to overthrow their exploiters. Repressive leaders weaken morale of its citizens, and make the people unsettled to trust its own leaders. The impact that religion has in the government’s ability to govern and show the people that it’s leaders are in fact of divine right is also profound. In Babylon, King Nabonidus was a very unpopular and unjust leader and was creating unrest in his city, but also didn’t worship Marduk, the Lord of Babylon. The King Cyrus will emerge to liberate the city of Babylon.…
Alexander of Macedon: A Great Leader Being the first person to conquer the Egyptian, Greek, and Persian empires in just over a decade was no walk in the park, and neither was integrating a culture into all of those empires nor attempting to unite them all. Alexander of Macedon was this man: he conquered the greatest empires, spread the Greek influence, and lead in a unique way with his inspiring character that he is famous for. Although he was not the ideal leader such as Plato’s idea of a philosopher-king, he was an ethical man who wanted his people content. His well-known title, “Alexander the Great,” was very appropriate for him: his fine character and social goals, his unique political leadership and strategic conquering, and his economic…

The Real King of Kings Percy Bysshe Shelley was a great English romantic writer. Shelley was born to a normal household, in this time period, he was the oldest of seven and seemed to be very different from his peers. Growing up Shelly was bullied horribly, this caused him to retreat to his imagination and is most likely the reason he is such a great writer. As years go by Shelly entered University College, Oxford, but after a few months, a dean demanded that Shelley visit his office. Shelley and his friend Thomas Jefferson Hogg had co-authored a pamphlet titled The Necessity of Atheism.…
Alexander: Fulfilling his Prophecy One Victory at a Time From when Alexander the Great was 18 years old, to when he died, he made many advancements militarily, culturally and in religion when he was in power.

Using his intelligence, he established more colonies for growth of Ancient Greece. Alexander was also a strong leader because he fulfilled the prophecy of Plato’s philosopher-king attributing to his title.…
