King Nebkheperura Tutankhamun remains the most famous of all the Pharaohs of
Ancient Egypt, but in life he was a short lived and fairly insignificant ruler
during a transitional period in history. Little was known of him prior to
Howard Carters methodical detective work, but the discovery of his tomb and
the amazing contents it held ultimately ensured this boy king of the
Immortality he sought.

brilliant and dreamed of a greater world empire. She almost achieved it. This
site offers a complete, detailed biography.

Nefertiti first appears on the scene when she becomes the Great Royal Wife of

also divided.

Nefertiti, whose name means "the beautiful one has come," was more

was the brother of Queen Tiy. Nefertiti was also known by her people as
"Ruler of the Nile," "Daughter of Gods," and "Empress
of the Mediterranean."

Ramses II Usermaatre Setepenre, son of king Sethi I, was one of the longest
reigning pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. He reigned 67 years (roughly from
1290-1224 BC), in the beginning as coregent with his father, and lived for
more than 80 years, which was very rare in those days. During his life he made
quite a reputation as a builder and a warrior, but also as a ladies man.
