On my recent tour, Ancient Mysteries of Egypt 2021, I had the discoverer of the Second Sphinx at Giza, Dr- Reda Abdel Haleem, speak to our group at the site of that lost #Sphinx. It is right next to the tomb of the first female ruler in history, Queen Khentkaus. . Queen Khentkaus suffers the indignity of not being mentioned in any of the listings of the Pharaohs of Egypt, and her royal name, written in hieroglyphs, is not given the honor of being encircled with a cartouche. . But Dr. Reda in his presentation to us made it plain that she was a ruler of Egypt. She reigned between the 4th and 5th Egyptian Dynasties, and is a link on the Giza Plateau between those two dynasties. . The American Institute for Pyramid Research (AIP) has shown that her tomb is one of 4 famous monuments on the Holy Giza Circle, joining in the elevated company of the Great Sphinx, the #GreatPyramid, and the Pyramid of Khafre. . This short video clip is dedicated to the honor the ill-appreciated first female ruler in the history of the world, Khentkaus I.
