The Mystery Of Egypts Pharaoh Queens, Egypts Lost Queens, Timeline

Perhaps unassumed by most, the ancient Egyptians were unique in their attitude to sexual equality with women holding the title of Pharaoh no fewer than 18 times, while there were also female doctors, tutors, prime ministers and priestesses.
