Pharaohs The 5 most important pharaohs of Ancient Egypt 1 Tutankhamun was, almost certainly, the most important pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. He reigned between 1336 B. C. and 1327 B. C.

C. and 1353 B. C. He had countless women, although only three managed to be a royal wife. His reign was a very prosperous and peaceful time. 3 Ramses II was the third pharaoh of the XIX Dynasty of Egypt. He reigned between 1279 B. C. and 1213 B. C. , for around 66 years. He was one of the best known pharaohs. Famed as a womanizer and lewd, he had dozens of wives and concubines, as well as hundreds of sons and daughters. 4 Cleopatra VII was born in 69 BC and, contrary to what many think, she was not Egyptian, but Macedonian. He came to power by marrying his brother, Ptolemy XIII, who was barely 10 years old.

Existe una especie de leyenda negra en torno a su figura que señala que llegó a prostituir a su propia hija para construir la Gran Pirámide de Guiza.

Pyramids are huge tombs. Thousands of men worked and took years to build and inside the pyramids there are secret passageways, chambers and tunnels. The most important are those of Cheops, Kefren and Micerino. When the richest pharaohs and Egyptians died, they prepared them for mummification to preserve the body and, for the longest possible time, they cleaned and perfumed it and bandaged them whole and put them in very luxurious sarcophagi and in the room they left precious objects that they used in their former life. They also left food. Formerly the pyramids were covered with a limestone cladding this reflected the sun in an impressive way and they say it shone like a jewel
