Nitocris was last pharaoh of the Sixth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. She was get found in the writings of Herodotus and Manetho. Herodotus told very interesting story about Nitocris.
Nitrocris is belived to have lived around the 22nd century BC. Her brother Merenre Nemtyemsaf II was killed by Egyptians. Nitocris took over the throne after her brothers death. She Ruled some years and create massive architecture projects in Egypt. According Nanetho Third Pyramid of Giza built by her,
She also built up specious underground chember with having diffrent plans in her mind. She kept inauguration of the this chamber and invited all the kings for inauguration ceremony who killed her brother. When the guest are busy with drinking and eating she get escaped silently from the ceremony.
She had builtup secret duct which can get adjoined when required. she closed all doors and redirectd Nile river water in the chember, all ringleader are get drwon, she took her revenge.
To avoid other consipiratiors and retribution, she commited sucide same day at evening by threw herself into a chember full of ashes
Nitocris is claimed by some sources
to have been a female pharaoh of ancient Egypt. However, prior to the Ptolemaic
Dynasty, there were few female rulers in the history of ancient Egypt. Many of
these women ruled only as regents for their underage sons.
The most famous of these early female
rulers is arguably Hatshepsut, a pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. Although she
officially ruled jointly with her nephew and step-son, Thutmose III (who was
still a child when he ascended the throne), Hatshepsut assumed the title of
pharaoh several years into her reign. Despite efforts by her successors to
completely erase her from history, there are enough artifacts from her reign to
attest to her existence and status
.
Unlike Hatshepsut, Nitocris is a much
more mysterious figure. Apart from being mentioned by Herodotus and Manetho,
there is little else at present that points towards her existence.
