Meet Merneith — the mysterious queen of Egypt’s First Dynasty. Her name means “Beloved of the goddess Neith,” and she wasn’t just a royal wife… she likely ruled Egypt herself as a regent — or even a pharaoh. Her tomb at Abydos is as grand as those of male kings, complete with royal symbols, sacrificial burials, and state seals. #Merneith #AncientEgypt #WomenInHistory #FemalePharaoh #AncientQueens
