Descoperirea care schimbă istoria femeilor: Prima regină din Egipt a avut rang de faraon
Recent research suggests that Meretneith, the first queen of Egypt, may have ruled as a pharaoh over 5,000 years ago, predating Sobekneferu. This new evidence, revealed through advanced digital imaging techniques, shows her name inscribed on royal seals, indicating her significant sovereign status. Meretneith's burial site at Abydos contains artifacts that further support her role as a ruler, including a lavish tomb filled with offerings. Despite her prominence, her status has been debated, but findings suggest she may have started as a co-regent with her father, Djer, and later ruled as regent for her son, Den. This discovery challenges previous historical timelines regarding female leadership in ancient Egypt.
