[4]Aha! Or is it King Menes?
_by Marie Parsons_

Manetho and Herodotus are the "best" historical sources for the
tradition that Menes was the unifier and first King of a unified
Egypt. Manetho lived in Sebennytos in the Delta during the Ptolemaic
period. He was a priest, perhaps chief priest, of Ra, and served as a
consultant to the early Ptolemaic rulers on the cult of Serapis.

[5]Early Dynastic Kings, Part I _by Marie Parsons_

Aha, probably the son of Narmer and his queen Nithotep, is thought to
be the first king of the 1st Dynasty. A tomb at Abydos is attributed
to him. It is the largest in the northwestern part of the cemetery,
and another tomb close by contained labels with the name Berner-Ib, or
"Sweetheart," possibly his queen.

[6]Early Dynastic Kings, Part II _by Marie Parsons_

Six kings may have ruled in the 2nd dynasty, which lasted little more
than 200 years. The names of the first three rulers, Hetepsekhemwy,
meaning "Pleasing in Powers," Raneb, meaning "Ra is the lord," and
Nynetjer, meaning "Godlike," were inscribed on the back of a statue of
a priest named Hotepdief. This priest presumably was in the royal
mortuary cult at Saqqara for these kings.

[7]Hatshepsut, Female Pharaoh of Egypt _by Caroline Seawright_

Although not the only female ruler of Egypt, Ma'at-ka-Ra Hatshepsut is
one of the best known
(next to Cleopatra). She was an 18th dynasty Pharaoh, daughter of
Thuthmose I and Aahmes. When her father died her half brother,
Thuthmose II, ascended to the throne. He was young, apparently younger
than Hatshepsut herself.

[8]Khufu _by Marie Parsons_

Khufu may have been already on in years when he took the throne. His
kinsman and vizier, Hemiunu, was also the architect of the Great
Pyramid. Khufus senior wife was named Merityotes, and she and his
other two wives were each buried in one of the three smaller
subsidiary pyramids that lie just south of the mortuary temple of the
main pyramid.

[9]King Catfish Also Called Narmer ___by Marie Parsons_

King Narmer is thought to have reigned c. 3150 BCE as first king of
the first dynasty (and/or last king of the 0 dynasty) of a unified
ancient Egypt.

[10]Predynastic Kings and Religion ___by Caroline Seawright_

The people who are believed to be the ancestors to the predynastic
Egyptians were a people known as the Badarian people. They lived in
Upper Egypt, on the eastern bank of the Nile, near the village of
Badari, south of Asiut. Archaeologists have found both a series of
settlement sites as well as various cemeteries. They lived at about
4400 BC and may have even been as far back as 5000 BC. _ _

[11]The Queens of Egypt, Part I
by Dr. _Sameh Arab_

Though the tradition in ancient Egypt was to honor women and give them
legal rights and a remarkable margin of freedom far more than any
other contemporaneous civilization, their role in kingship was limited
to passing the throne to the next king, not inherit it themselves. The
pharaoh was the son of Ra the sun god - harboring the divine royal
blood of Horus. This royal blood was inherited to his successor, only
through the eldest princess. In order to be eligible to the throne,
the eldest son had to marry his sister, the eldest daughter of the
deceased pharaoh.

[12]The Queens of Egypt - Part II
_By Dr. Sameh Arab_

The voyage to the Land of Punt was one of the most important, and yet
mysterious achievements of Hatshepsut. It is believed to have started
during her 7th regal year, immediately after her coronation, and
lasted until the 8th. Herodotus later writings believed this only
lasted two months. This month Dr. Sameh Arab provides us with an in
depth look at Hatshepsut, one of the most interesting Pharaohs in
Egyptian History.

_[13]Queens of Egypt, Part III - Cleopatra_ _by Dr. Sameh Arab_

Cleopatra was that last sovereign of the Macedonian dynasty, and
though with no Egyptian blood, she proclaimed herself as "_Daughter of
Ra_", the "Sun God of Egypt". She dedicated her efforts to enforce her
royal status as queen of Egypt, to restore the glories of Ptolemies
and recover their dominions in southern Syria and Palestine, as well
as to share in the central Roman authority.

[14]The Scorpion King ___by Marie Parsons_

The movie entitled "The Mummy Returns", and an already-planned sequel,
tentatively titled "The Scorpion King", purport to tell of a
semi-mythical king of late pre-dynastic Egypt. The sequel so far is
scripted to speculate about the Scorpion's rise to become King over
Egypt.

[15]What Disease was Akhen-Aton Suffering From _by Sameh M. Arab, M.D._

During the 18th dynasty, there suddenly came a religious revolt in
ancient Egypt, led by Amenhotep IV. During his 5th regnal year, the
king announced a new religion for the state, the "Atonism". This
involved defying only one god, Aton (the solar disc), and rejecting
all other currently known gods.
