CAIRO – 18 January Figures of ancient Egypt are well known all over the world because of their extraordinary contributions to civilization. Egypt Today presents in a series of articles ancient Egypt’s greatest queens.
In the previous articles, Egypt Today shed light on the lives of Tutankhamen’s wife and half-sister, Ankhesenamun; the first Egyptian female ruler, Queen Merneith, also known as Meritneith and Meryt-Neith; and Queen Hetepheres I. Today’s chosen queen is Neithhotep, the wife of Narmer.
Neithhotep is considered the first identified Egyptian queen by historians, according to researcher and author Ismail Hamed.
She was the first queen of the First Dynasty founded by her husband Narmer or Menes, according to researcher, archaeologist and author Joshua J. Mark of Ancient History Encyclopedia.
One of the main reasons for the marriage between Narmer and Neithhotep was due to Narmer’s interest to enhance his authority over the lands of Lower Egypt, as Neithhotep was one of Lower Egypt’s princesses, while Narmer was one of Upper Egypt’s

Merneith var dronning i Det gamle Egypt (første dynasti). Hun var den første kvinnelige hersker i Det gamle Egypt. Hun var hustru til kong Djet og mor til kong Den i det første dynasti (ca. – fvt.). Alt tyder på at hun var regent for Den mens han var for ung til å styre selv.
Merneith har et mektig gravanlegg i Abydos, i samme område og skala som kongene fra denne tiden. Anlegget ble utforsket av Flinders Petrie i Petrie identifiserte navnet på eieren av graven, men trodde Merneith var en mannlig hersker. Området har blitt studert på nytt flere ganger siden. Det er nokså nylig funnet en kongeliste i graven til Merneiths sønn Den, hvor «kongens mor, Merneith» også står oppført.
Navn og symboler
Merneith skrev av og til navnet sitt i en serekh (en rektangulær forløper til den ovale kartusjen som omkranset kongenavn i senere tider) slik som kongene gjorde. Mens kongene lot guden Horus pryde sine serekher, brukte Merneith imidlertid et bilde av gudinnen Neith. Faktisk er det ikke umulig at navnet hennes bare var «Meret» og at «Neith» var en del av hennes kongelige titulat
Meryt-Neith
Datums: na vC
Beroep: Egiptiese heerser ( farao )
Ook bekend as: Merneith, Meritnit, Meryet-Nit
Vroeë Egiptiese geskrifte bevat fragmente van inskripsies wat die geskiedenis beskryf van die eerste dinastie om Egipte se boonste en onderste koninkryke te verenig, ongeveer vC. Meryt-Neith se naam verskyn ook in inskripsies op robbe en bakke.
'n Gekerfde begrafnismonument wat in nC ontdek is, het die naam Meryt-Neith daarop. Die monument was onder dié van konings van die Eerste Dinastie. Egiptoloë het geglo dat dit 'n heerser van die eerste dinastie was - en 'n ruk nadat hulle die monument gevind het en hierdie naam by die heersers van Egipte gevoeg het, het hulle besef dat die naam waarskynlik na 'n vroulike heerser verwys. Toe het daardie vroeëre Egiptoloë haar outomaties na die status van koninklike metgesel verskuif, met die veronderstelling dat daar geen vroulike heersers was nie. Ander opgrawings ondersteun die idee dat sy met die mag van 'n koning regeer het en met die eer van 'n magtige heerser begrawe is.
Haar graf (die graf wat met haar naam geïdentifiseer word) by Abydos is van dieselfde grootte as dié van die manlike konings wat d
Around the middle of the first dynasty, the king Den may have been preceded by Queen Mereneith (Meryneith or Merneith, &#;beloved of Neith&#;), considered by some to be the first female ruler of Egypt and possibly the world. However, it is unclear whether she reigned alone for a period or reigned alongside her husband Djet (if he was her husband) and then acted as regent for her son Den. She is named as the King&#;s Mother on a seal impression created during Den&#;s reign, but was not recorded on some of the other kings lists.
Manetho does not refer to Mereneith by name, but he does state that there were eight pharaohs in the first dynasty, which is correct if you include Mereneith as a pharaoh. However, it is also possible that he included Narmer in the first dynasty (and not dynasty 0), and so counted eight pharaohs.
A single clay seal (right) seems to depict her name inside a serekh (reserved for the name of a pharaoh) topped with the symbol of Neith. Her name appears on the Palermo Stone without the title &#;King&#;s Mother&#;, but as the fragment is damaged and the name of Djer is also followed by that of his mother it is difficult to draw a firm conclusion from
