    Historical Thread

    This, the Early Dynastic Period and the Old Kingdom is the formative stage of Egyptian history. Here we find the first kings and thus also the first queens. Not much is known about these women, at best some records are given about them on seals or stelae. Several of them had however a small pyramid erected for them beside the kingīs. Letīs anyhow try to at least give something about them here, or name them - so that they can Live forever ;) ...

    After Neferikare, there was Neferfre ruling for a short time. No records of queens are attached to him.

    Then came Niuserre ahd his queeen was Reptynub. She is know from a fragmentary statuette in Niuserreīs mortuary temple and also fragments from the tomb of Ptahsepses B, the vizier under Niuserre.

    After Niuserre there was Menkauhor and his queen Merensank IV. She is the owner of tomb 82 at Saqqara but itīs not quite clear that she really is that queen, itīs a surmise on the location of the tomb and the date of it. So that is a thin piece of "evidence"!
