The powerful queen Nitocris

She is  the last queen of the sixth dynasty of the Old Kingdom in the 22 century before Christ and the historian say she had run twelve years.The great historian Manetho speaks highly of this Pharaoh, saying she was "the bravest than all men of his time, the most beautiful of all women, beautiful skin and red cheeks and says that she ordered the construction of the "third pyramid" at Giza, the pyramid itself currently allocated to Menkaure

Many students of history consider this Egyptian pharaoh as the first female ruler of Egypt, the first queen of the world known, and the first woman to take the title of governor or rather Pharaoh

Maybe the later famous queens looked like a big issue that could dominate the throne which was always dedicated to the men, and  so dared to do the same as Nitocris

The great historian Herodotus told us very interesting information Nitocris had invited the murderers of her husband and brother, the pharaoh of Egypt, a feast and killed them submerged with water of the Nile and then committed suicide by jumping into the fire to escape of the other conspirators. Thus begins the decline of Egypt First Intermediate Period and sinks into a state of instability, chaos and confusion

 

Unfortunately Nitocris not mentioned in any inscription of his time, but is mentioned in a fragment in Turin, although some students say that the Pharaoh did not exist and his name was confused with another name of a pharaoh named Neckerkara Siptah who is mentioned in The actual listing of Abydos
The conclusion: we must recognize that tourism in Egypt is the greatourism


The egyptian tourism is the super tourism
