Queens of Ancient Egypt

We seem to know so little about these women, but this app links to the stories that have been discovered. A rare bit of ancient history where there was near gender equality. The app is a bit dry being basically a big database, but it is well designed and seems to work well.

Well executed! I wish there were more stories about more of the queens. I guess we just have to settle for the historical record 🙂

Less Is known about the royal ladies of the ancient world than the men. Egypt gave much more of a role to women than other societies and documented their lives to a greater extent. This app is fantastic because it collects most of what is known about the Queens into a nice portable library on your phone. I just walked through the Met and read about some queens as I found their artifacts! Thumbs up!
