Queen Ahhotep I of Egypt
She was wife of Seqenenre Ta'a II and an inscription on the doorway Buhen suggests that she was joint regent with her sons Kamose and Ahmose I, who is generally given credit for founding the 18th Dynasty. It was during the turbulent times when that nation's kings were engaged in a protracted war of liberation to rid their country of the Hyksos invaders, and she played a crucial role in safeguarding the kingdom in the south, and a stele in Karnak temple honors her with the words: "she is one who has accomplished the rites and cared for Egypt; she has looked after Egypt's troops and she has guarded them; she has brought back the fugitives and collected the deserters; she has pacified Upper Egypt and expelled her rebels." This was a powerful Black Queen.

Thutmose III 1504-1450  I tend to be suspicious of historians who makes claims of specific ethnicity to historical figures from long long long ago lol. Ahhotep was a member of the 18th Dynasty in Egypt. The 18th Dynasty was made up nearly exclusively of brother-sister pairings so Ahhotep's genetics would'nt have varied virtually any at from Thutmose III pictured above who didn't look any more 'black' than anybody else in Egypt at the time. Nefertiti (of course shown above) was also a member of the 18th Dynasty. -Badger |
