Impact on Egypt


Queen Hatshepsut's impact on Egypt was very big. She started many building projects that were alot bigger than other Pharaohs before her. She was also able to expand Egypt's territories and made trade for Egypt bigger. She is also known for being able to hold stable order in Egypt.

Queen Arisinoe II's impact on Egypt was important because she was very influential in Egypt's foreign policy. She had towns dedicated to her.

Queen Nefertari was Ramesses II's wife. She took part in civil and religious ceremonies and traveled the pharaoh on important journeys.

Queen Nefertiti's is believed to have started the worship of the sun god Ra. Lots of artwork shows her worshipping Ra. She was very religious and influenced the pharaoh and the people of Egypt to worship Ra too. She had so much influence that the people believed that the pharaoh and Nefertiti were living gods.

Queen Cleopatra is remembered as the last queen pharaoh of Egypt. She was a very strong leader in Egypt and worked with Ceasar and Mark Antony, who were kings of Rome. When she was queen, her country was in many wars that she was a part of.
