    Queen Cleopatra vii Thea Philopator

    Queen Cleopatra vii Thea Philopator
    Cleopatra Queen Cleopatra vii was the last pharoah of Ancient Egypt. She was born late 69BC and died August the 12th 30BC. Cleopatra was part of the Ptolemaic dynasty in the Hellinistic period. The dynasty was of Greek origin and spoke only that, which is why so many texts and documents such as the Rosetta stone. Cleopatra spoke both languages and proclaimed that she was a reincarnation of the Egyptian goddess Isis. She reigned from 51-30BC. P.s. 69BC doesn't program so I did the lowest setting, 100.

  • The Beginning Of Ancient Egypt

    The Beginning Of Ancient Egypt
    Unfortunately this timeline website does not accept BC so I habe done my timeline in reverse order BC. Each year will begin on January the 1st. Originally, Ancient Egypt was ruled by Gods, Hepaistus (Ptah) was the first, the God of crafftsmen and creation. Following him was Helios (Ra) the sun God, Sosis the air God and several other Gods. After them were the semi-gods then normal people. The time of Ancient Egypt was one of the most important phases in human history.
