Bibliotheca Alexandrina Unveils Egyptian Queens Secrets
The article highlights the role of women and queens in ancient Egypt, where some queens went beyond the traditional roles of wife and mother to participate in decision-making and wield power, even ascending to the throne under certain historical circumstances, such as Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Nefertari. The researcher explained that queens were used as part of the legitimacy of rule and participated in politics and religious traditions. Additionally, love and marriage relationships were sometimes tools for political alliances. During the Ptolemaic era, the involvement of queens in political conflicts and alliances increased, with a focus on Cleopatra VII, who was a ruling monarch managing diplomacy and economic affairs. The article emphasizes that studying the lives of queens reveals important aspects of Egyptian women's history, and their presence was not marginal but was connected to centers of power and influence within the royal institution.
