	Hatshepsut
		As a queen regnant she is preceded by Merneith of the First Dynasty; and Nimaethap of the Third Dynasty, who may have been the dowager of Khasekhemwy, but who certainly acted as regent for her son, Djoser, during the Third Dynasty, and—she may have reigned as pharaoh in her own right.

		The long and successful reign of Amenemhet III (Dynasty 12) was followed by that of his coregent Amenemhet IV whose sister, Sobekneferu, succeeded him as the last of the dynasty.
		Under Amenemhet IV and Sobekneferu the country was beset with problems, and in the ensuing years (which Egyptologists call the Second Intermediate Period) Egypt suffered many difficulties.
		The Second Intermediate Period was at first a time of internal collapse when a rapid succession of kings failed to hold the kingdom together.

	gender: woman near the king
		Between 3100 and 332 BC there are five women who appear to have held the same position as the male ruler in formal presentation or burial place: Merytneit (First Dynasty), Sobekneferu (Twelfth Dynasty), Hatshepsut (Eighteenth Dynasty), and Tausret (Nineteenth Dynasty).
		A possible sister, Sobekneferu, became ruler either alongside Amenemhat III, or his successor Amenemhat IV, or perhaps ruled alone.
		Her reign marked the end of the Twelfth Dynasty in later kinglists: it is often said that this marks the end of the family line, but these ritual positions revealed in formal writing do not provide enough data to reconstruct family trees.

	Dahshur pyramids
		The bones of both queen Aat and his second consort, who might have been Neferuptah, were found in their burial chambers - however, despite the presence of a sarcophagus in the king's burial chamber, it seems that he was buried at another pyramid he built, at Hawara.
		Surprisingly, though, there were four other burials inside the Black Pyramid and archaeologists speculate that two of these might have been pharoah Amenemhat IV and his queen, Sobekneferu.
		You can't approach the Black Pyramid because it's still in a restricted military zone, so this photo was taken with a long lens from the Bent Pyramid, described later.

	Pyramid of Amenemhet III - The White Pyramid - Crystalinks
		Along with the bones of the two queens, four additional burials were discovered within the pyramid.

		Amenemhet IV and Queen Sobekneferu may have begun pyramids at Mazghuna, but these were far from completed and it would appear that no burials took place.

	Hatshepsut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was only the second known woman to assume the throne as "King of Upper and Lower Egypt" after Queen Sobekneferu of the 12th Dynasty of Egypt.
		Hatshepsut was the eldest daughter of Thutmose I and Queen Ahmose, the first king and queen of the Thutmosid clan of the 18th Dynasty.
		At first, it appears that Hatshepsut was patterning herself after the powerful female regents of Egypt's then-recent history, but as Thutmose III approached maturity it became apparent that she had only one model in mind: Sobekneferu, the last monarch of the Twelfth Dynasty, who ruled in her own right.

	Sobekneferu
		Attributed to a 'young' Amunemhat III, the strong but decidedly feminen features may actually represent Sobekneferu at 40-45 years of age.

		Sobekneferu was the last truly royal princess of the 12th dynasty.
