Montuhotep II.

 a king who was revered as the ruler who reunited Egypt after the First Intermediate Period. He builds a temple for himself on the Westbank of the Nile at Deir el-Bahri (which is now mostly known for the temple of Queen Hatshepsut). We see the king with the white crown of Upper Egypt. His name can be read in the cartouche in front of his face: mn-tw-htp Montuhotep.

Psusennes I was a Pharaoh of the 21st dynasty, he lived during the 1047. He was the last Pharaoh of Egypt in true sense. People had high regards for him. He ruled his part of the kingdom longer than any other Pharaoh had done. His tomb was found intact and there were no signs of breach into the tomb. Many robbers had dug up the adjacent graves lying in the neighbourhood but never touched Psusennes I tomb. He was placed in a silver casket instead of golden, which is unusual, and he became known as The Silver Pharaoh.

 

Cleopatra is one of the most well-known monarchs of the ancient world. Most people know of her but not much about her, so who was this enigmatic woman who stole the heart of not one, but two of the ancient world’s most important men? Caesar and Mark Anthony.

 

(All the Crowns of Egypt shown on the walls at Dendera) But look at all those crowns. No way am I talking about the individual religious/socio-political aspects of all those crowns. Final statement for this section: Crowns be important. Always respect crown.

Statuette of Wah.This statuette, intended to serve as a home for Wah's spirit, depicts a young man in the prime of life. Full of vigor, the little figure has the imposing presence of a much larger statue. The linen wrap may imitate the type of long skirt worn by Middle Kingdom officials. Beneath this, the figure wears the more typical short kilt, carved into the wood and painted white.
