Cleopatra. Nefertiti. Hatshepsut… all ancient Egyptian female rulers who rose above their predominantly patriarchal societies to become controllers of a great empire. But there is one important name missing from this list – that of ancient Egypt’s first female ruler, Sobekneferu.
Why was the reign of this powerful woman all but forgotten?
In his latest book, The First Female Pharaoh Sobekneferu, Goddess of the Seven Stars ANDREW COLLINS pieces together the lost history of Egypt’s first female pharaoh, who came back to life after her tomb was found to become the true inspiration behind every ancient Egyptian female queen, as featured first in Bram Stoker’s shocking 1903 novel The Jewel of the Seven Stars and later in several modern blockbuster movies.
From her achievements as a ruler to her magical beliefs and practices, from her relationship with her brother Amenemhet IV, her sister Neferuptah, and their father Amenemhet III who was regarded as one of the most beloved pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom to her modern-day resurrection among the occultists and mystics of Victorian London, Andrew Collins examines and reveals the story of Sobekneferu, including untimely end, the fate of her body, her continuing impact on ancient Egypt after her reign, and the cult that developed in her name.
ANDREW COLLINS is a science and history writer who investigates advanced civilizations in prehistory. He is the co-discoverer of a massive cave complex beneath the Giza plateau, now known as “Collins’ Cave.” He is the author of several books, including Origins of the Gods and Göbekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods. He lives in Essex, England.
