Description

The New Kingdom of Egypt was the time of the most famous kings to rule Egypt – King Tut, Akhenaten the “heretic king”, Ramses the Great, and Thutmose III, the “Napoleon of Egypt”. But this was a time of great women as well as great men. Nefertiti, Akhenaten’s wife and (perhaps) successor, and the queen pharaoh Hatshepsut are well-known in modern times. They weren’t the only women to play a major role in Egyptian politics and religion during the New Kingdom (~1550-1100 BCE). Along with them, we will look at warrior queen Ahmose who helped her husband and sons to reunite Egypt, the deified queen Ahmose Nefertari, Amenhotep III’s illustrious and beloved wife Tiy, and Ramses II’s granddaughter and queen in her own right Twosret. These women, often passed over in histories of the kingdom, were vital in shaping the culture, monuments, and politics of the Egyptian nation.

Professional Tour Guide

Jacob G.

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania, studying ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. I have worked on many topics, including frog-shaped stone vessels from the earliest periods of Egypt, the tombs of the Theban Necropolis, and Assyrian royal propaganda. I have also excavated in Egypt at the ancient town of Wah-Sut, a settlement for the workers of the temple of pharaoh Senwosret III.
