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.

    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…

    Ammut helped change Egypt for the better by helping the Egyptians figure out who's going to go to the afterlife by weighing their heart to a feather. If your heart was heavier than the feather, Ammut will devour the hearts of those that contain wicked hearts, but if your heart is lighter than the feather of truth, you will be passed on to the afterlife. That's why, in Egypt, some people used to starve themselves so that when they die they will be lighter than the feather of truth, just to get into the afterlife without Ammut eating your heart. Ammut is mixed with three different animals, each for different emotions. The animals are a lion, a crocodile, and a hippopotamus.…

    The Death of King Tut… King Tut was destined to be a good ruler and founder of egypt before he got assassinated. One of the reasons I am sure he got assassinated is his father. His father was a cruel man oblivious to traditions and therefore a hated pharaoh. After he died it is not unlikely that Tut could’ve done the same, for he was his son after all. This could’ve made anyone want to murder him before he had children for fear of the death of egypt.…

    While no evidence exists demonstrating that Sinuhe from The Story of Sinuhe is an actual person and while The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant is clearly fiction, both works of Egyptian literature are rooted in some form of historical fact in that they were likely written by Egyptian elite and, therefore, they can give us important insights into Egyptian social life, how Egyptians viewed their society and the greater world, and how different classes in Egypt might have interacted. Namely, both pieces serve as obvious propaganda pieces for the Egyptian pharaoh –highlighting the relationship between the king and the lower tiers of society and setting up defined traits for how the pharaoh was supposed to be perceived in Egyptian society. However,…
