Differences Between King and Queen Pharaohs


There were a lot of differences between all the Pharaohs of Egypt. Most Queen Pharaohs had a longer time to rule than the King pharaohs. It was because more Kings died and sometimes people were so selfish they would kill the Pharaoh so that they could rule. How awful is that? Also King pharaohs had more control over the people of Egypt than Queen pharaohs did. One Queen Pharaoh named Hatshepsut always wore a fake beard because she believed that queen pharaohs had the same power as a king did. Also, many pharaohs where related to each other and some were not. Something that is funny that we would think is totally weird is that the pharaohs would marry their brothers or sisters so they would keep the royal chain going.
