queen shanakhdakheto


Do you know who queen Shanakhdakheto is? Well, if you you dont let me just say that SHE WAS THE FIRST WOMAN TO RULE AN EMPIRE BY HERSELF. She ruled from 170 B.C. to 150 B.C. If you saw a statue of her she was usually standing in front of a smaller man that touched her crown. She ruled Kush empire for 20 years. When she is seen in art she is usaully standing next to a smaller male who touches her crown or ribbons ect. This statue from meroe belived to represent Queen Shanakhdakheto & a male member of her family giving her royal power. Most peolpe don't know how she got to her royalty status and her family connections are unknown.

  1. Shanakhdakheto was not proved to be the first ruling lady. Books say that there are not enough artifacts to prove it historians BELIEVE that she was. Oh yea and Shanakhdakheto wasn't an Egyptian, she was a Kushite. haha. better luck next time :P oh yea but thanks for the other info and who knows if it's true. (:

  2. You made your research LOOK longer by putting "
    If you saw a statue of her she was usually standing in front of a smaller man that touched her crown." Then putting "She ruled Kush empire for 20 years." And last, you repeated the first sentence, " When she is seen in art she is usaully standing next to a smaller male who touches her crown or ribbons ect." This doesn't make sense. And yes. that wanted person is true, she was a Kushite why would you put her in the Egyptian section?
