The queens of Egypt

There have been many queens that reigned in Egypt—though most have remained unknown in the public’s eye—their stories are just as remarkable as the pharaohs that ruled too. For example, a few queens took it upon themselves to proclaim their stance as pharaoh, while others were important counterparts helping to rule the pharaoh’s kingdom. It should be noted that the pharaohs were not the only ambitious, power driven, and grand "beings"  to rule during the Egyptian empire as some queens accomplished more than many of the pharaohs we know today. Some of Egypt's queens stopped at nothing to ensure their legacy would be magnificent and they too would be remembered like their male counterparts—the pharaohs.
