I Am A Brother Of The Great Pharaoh

After the death of Alexander the Great, the empire was in complete chaos for Alexander had not named an heir. While Perdiccas suggested waiting for the birth of Alexander and Roanne’s child, I proposed to divide the kingdom amongst the leading generals. After my campaign to divide the empire, I successfully acquired the title as the ruler of Egypt. I, Ptolemy Soter Ⅰ, the Pharaoh of Egypt, have contributed greatly to the advancements of my kingdom. For starters, I have stabilized the economy and placed the administration on sound footing.

CLARISSE: AmeIia, I had other expectations aIso. In my wiIdest dreams... I never expected this to happen. But you are the IegaI heir-- the onIy heir-- to the Genovian throne... and we will accept the challenge... of heIping you become the princess that you are. Oh, I can give you books. You wiII study Ianguages, history, art, poIiticaI science. I can teach you to waIk, taIk, sit, stand... eat, dress Iike a princess.

Queen Vashti was the daughter of King Nebuchadnezzar and was very self-seeking and stubborn. She was also very beautiful, which in some ways was her downfall, for during the concluding week of the great feast, King Xerxes demanded Queen Vashti come before him and have her beauty paraded before his guests. Queen Vashti refused to come and be humiliated in this manner, for it was not proper for a woman to appear before a room of men. This angered King Xerxes, and he turned to his advisors for what appropriate actions should be taken against the queen for disobedience. “If it pleases his majesty, let him issue a royal decree – and let it be written as one of the laws of the Persians and Medes, which are irrevocable – that Vashti is never again to be admitted into the presence of King Achashverosh, and that the king give her royal position to someone better than she” (Stern 1089-1090). King Xerxes had Queen Vashti removed from her position as queen, and she was never summoned before him again, for the word of the king was final and could not be rescinded. Upon the advice of his closest trustees and advisors, a beauty pageant was held at the palace, and all of the most eligible virgins of all the provinces were to come to Susa as prospects to replace Queen Vashti.

As I’ve had your company, my love for you perpetuates to grow. I sit there with you as you complain “how slow This old moon wanes! She lingers my desires, like a stepdame or a dowager Ling withering out a young man’s revenue.”You rant about how slow the days pass, how the slow the moon fades, and how the moon is keeping you from what you optate, like what you compare to, a widow making her stepson wait to get his passed on possessions. Nonetheless, I’d found it amusing and relieving that we could be honest with each other. You wish for the day of our wedding to come and eager for it because you want to espouse me.“Stir up the Athenian youth to merriments. Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth. Turn Melancholy forth to funerals. The pale companion is not for our pomp," you order Philostrate. Theseus, when you said that, I knew you were serious about me and our wedding. You want to welcome me as the Queen of Athens with pride to everyone, and I appreciate that. Moreover, it shows me that you care about me and what others may think of me.

Ramses the Pharaoh wouldn’t let the Israelites out of Egypt, so Moses stepped in and led the Israelites out of Egypt, which we know as the Exodus. If I were an Israelite, I would join Moses out of Egypt. I would do this because being a slave would mean being tortured. Moreover, Moses had powers from God, so it was save to be with him. He had the Ten Commandments, so people would know how to live their daily lives.

5 Each prospective Queen must carry themselves as a lady at all times and conduct themselves in a respectable and professional

Many see me as an arrogant, despicable man trying to gain power in sinful ways, but put yourself in my shoes, if you will. My home, Ithaca, recently suffered a tragedy. Odysseus, a great warrior and king, once admired by his kingdom suffered a death on the battlefield. He left his wife and kids to live out the rest of their days without even so much as a word from a messenger, informing them on his passing. More importantly, he left them without a man in the family. A deplorable, pathetic man, really. Unable to provide his family with an announcement of his death, leaving them with the false hope he may still be out there. Not only did he leave his wife and child, he left his whole kingdom. Naturally, the Queen of Ithaca, Penelope, will need to be remarried, and in doing so, chose a new king to rule the island of Ithaca. She’ll need to pick a strong, powerful, and tenacious king to rule over Ithaca. Who else would be fit for the job but me? Many other men have come seeking Penelope's hand in marriage. I have more qualification in my finger than

Kingship became necessary because they needed someone to please the gods and help keep people from doing the things the gods disapproved of. There are many similarities between Mahabharata and the Hymn to the Pharaoh, both see their leader as god like or a god pleaser, both their leaders help keep their people in position to please the gods. There are difference though, the Mahabharata talks about how the gods can lose power and get scared by the way their people act and that they need the king to help them out, the Hymn to the Pharaoh thinks the gods are all powerful all the time and also believe that their leader is a god and they fear him.

Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty her throne name was "Maatkare", which means “the truth in the soul of the sun”. The new kingdom consists of dynasty 18th, 19th and the 20th. Hatshepsut ruled in the 18th dynasty and she was one of the few female pharaohs in Egypt. She was a member of the Thutmosid line of kings of the early new Kingdome with her father being Thutmose the first who married into the family to become pharaoh (wasn’t royal blood). Hatshepsut married her half-brother Thutmose the second who was named pharaoh. Marrying Hatshepsut (the daughter of the king) confirmed his right to rule despite the fact that his mother was not of royal blood and neither was his father originally.

Pharaohs were eminent figures to the people of the New Kingdom Egypt who had control over the entire Egypt itself as they were leaders of both politics and religion. The Valley of the Kings was the burial place chosen to be the final resting place for pharaohs of the New Kingdom era. The structure of the royal tombs were constructed to imitate that of the underworld, and were built underground to protect the tombs from tomb robbers – the tombs were not intended to be seen by outsiders. Each tomb depicted the pharaoh’s personality, and their interests and such, as the tombs vary from decoration and possessions placed alongside the body. The general construction of the tomb included: an entrance corridor with wall paintings; the decorations on

Ramesses II, or simply Ramses, is an Egyptian Pharaoh, known to have been responsible for propaganda to build his legacy from a commoner to a grand ruler. If the Pharaoh is responsible for fragmented stories, sources are to undergo a critical analysis for reliability and authenticity, as representations may have been possibly shaped to give an inaccurate portrayal. By looking at sources such as art, myth, legends, memorials, museums, the media, film, documentaries and multimedia, we will find a fixed representation of who the Pharaoh truly was.

Ahmose I reigned from 1550 to 1525 BC.Ahmose means “The Moon is Born.” He was the founder of the Eighteenth Dynasty and the New Kingdom. During his reign Egypt was finally and completely liberated from the Hyksos. He was a boy when he assumed the throne, having lost his father Seqenenre Taa II and his brother Kahmose within three years of each other. His mother was Queen Ashotep, a powerful woman who was perhaps his co-regent during his early years. During his early years the Hyksos may have evan gained some ground (Ahmose).

My topic for the Ancient Egypt project is pharaohs. The Ancient Egypt civilization was a very powerful civilization which lasted about 3000 years. Egyptians had a culture that was important in their everyday life. The following is about what the pharaohs did but also about a somewhat forgotten pharaoh: Hatshepsut.

“I’ve got more than enough money for my daughter. What I need is honour. I intend to make her a marquise” (226).

In fairytales, royal women are typically regarded as delicate, sophisticated creatures, controlled by the kingdoms to which they belong. However, it is the strength within these women that is far more admirable than their outer appearance could ever be. This is why looking at royalty as perfection—a gift of beauty, wealth, and dignity—creates a widely known myth that hides the unattractive truth behind the royal life. Although you should always seek to look beyond the surface, “The Princess in the Suit of Leather” shows that upon deeper inspection you ultimately get hit with the harsh reality of conservative gender roles.
