	Queens Of Egypt
		Sobeknefru is the first monarch to use the name of the god Sobek beyond that of a 12th dynasty princess.
		Hers was not a precedent-setting reign, however, for a similar succession had occurred at the end of the 6th dynasty, and tradition records that officials in the 2nd dynasty decided that a woman could hold the royal title.
		Sobeknefru reigned as a full pharaoh; her statues from the northeastern Nile River delta show her with full royal (king's) regalia and in traditional royal poses.

	Pyramids of Mazghuna
		The pyramids at Mazghuna known as the Northern and Southern Mazghuna Pyramids, may belong to Sobeknefru (Queen Nefrusebek), the last pharaoh of Egypt's 12th Dynasty and Amenemhet IV, respectively, but no inscriptions bearing their names have been found and their ownership is far from certain.
		If these pyramids do belong to Sobeknefru and Amenemhet IV, they are evidence of the decline at the end of the 12th Dynasty of Egypt's Middle kingdom.
		Some grave goods were discovered in this pyramid. These included an alabaster vessel in the form of a trussed duck and three limestone lamps that were found in the small service chamber before the burial chamber, and a small alabaster kohl pot and a piece of glazed steatite left in the inner burial chamber.

		As Thutmose III’s aunt and step mother Hatshepsut was selected to be regent until the boy king came of age.
		At first it seemed that Hatshepsut was patterning herself after the powerful female regents of Egypt’s then recent history, but it soon became apparent that she had only one model in mind, Sobeknefru, the last monarch of the 12th dynasty who ruled in her own right.
		She took one step further than Sobeknefru and had herself crowned Pharaoh in 1473 BC and took the throne name Maatkare.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Middle Kingdom : Dynasty 12 : Sobeknefru
		Neferusobek (or Sobeknefru, depending on how you read the hieroglyphs) was one of the few queens to rule Egypt.
		She is less well known than the other queens -- Cleopatra, Hatshepsut -- because she built very little and left few monuments to her reign.
		Her tomb has not been found, although most agree that she was buried in Mazguna in a partially built pyramid near that of her husband, Amenemhet IV.

	Amenemhet IV - Queen Sobeknefru
		Married to Amenemhet IV, who was possibly also her brother and on his death she became ruler of Egypt.
		Statues of her were found in the Faiyum and she added to the Labyrinth of Amenemhet III.
		Sobeknefru had a very brief reign of 4 years (she may have actually been co-regent with Amenemhet IV), she has been identified with a pyramid near Dahshur (with similar problems about truly idenifying the pyramid with her as with identifying Amenemhet IV and his pyramid - see above).

		He was quite old when he took the throne, due to the long reign of Amenemhet III.
		He had no male heir, and most chronologies show him succeeded by his half-sister (or possibly aunt) Sobeknefru.
		It is generally believed that he was married to her as well.

		Sobeknefru was a half sister of Amenemhet IV.
		Some have suggested that she was his wife and other that she was a rival, but there is no evidence to support either contention.
		Sobeknefru seems to have been uncertain as to how to resolve this problem.

		Pharaoh was an exclusively male title this point in Egyptian history there was word for a female ruler (the closest the one used by Sobeknefru was King's Wife) thus Queen Hatshepsut became King Hatshepsut.

	Talk:Hatshepsut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hatshepsut not only claimed to be queen regnant but to be the legitimate ruler of Egypt by taking the title King, there was no Egyptian equivalent of our word Queen, as in Queen Elizabeth I, only the Great Wife of Pharaoh.
		I have looked at various sources and none of them claim that Nitocris went any further in her claim to power, than Sobeknefru.
		Little is know, of Nitocris and some of what is known is wrong, Manetho's claim she built the third pyramid at Giza for example.

	Twelfth dynasty of Egypt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Sobeknefru 1785-1782 The chronology of the Twelfth dynasty is the most stable of any period before the New Kingdom.
		Manetho stated that it was based in Thebes, Egypt, but from contemporary records it is clear that the first king moved its capital to a new city named Amenemhat-itj-tawy (Amenemhat the Siezer of the Two Lands), more simply called Itjtaway.
		Also written during this dynasty were a number of Didactic works, such as the Instruction of Amenemhat I and the Protests of the Eloquent Peasant.

	Pharaoh Sobeknefru
		With her dynasty being so closely linked to the Fayum it is not at all surprising that Sobeknefru herself possibly gained her basis of power from there.
		If that is true that would indicate the possibility that later in her rule she left the Fayum for the traditional capitals of Memphis and/or Heliopolis.
		While its possible there were other female pharaohs prior to Sobeknefru, she is the first who we have concrete proof that she reigned and unlike the more well known Hatshepsut, her reign (3 years, 10 months and 24 days) are still recorded in the Turin King list.

		His short reign was relatively uneventful, but it was during this time that decline of the Middle Kingdom is generally thought to have begun.
		Amenemhet died without an eligible male heir, and was succeeded by his half-sister (or perhaps his aunt) Sobeknefru, who became the first woman in about 1500 years to rule Egypt.
		He may have been Sobeknefru's spouse but no historical evidence currently substantiates this idea.

		His relationship to his successor is unknown -- Amenemhet may have been a grandson instead of a son.
		HOwever, his daughter, Sobeknefru rules later in the 12th Dynasty as pharaoh.
		Manetho credits him with only eight years, which seem an unlikely short reign for such a productive builder as Amenemhet.

	Hatshepsut
		Although she was not the only woman to ascend the Egyptian throne, her reign was the most significant.
		There had been other Queens before and after her rule, such as Queen Neitkrety of the Sixth Dynasty, Queen Sobeknefru in the end of the Twelfth Dynasty, and Queens Neithotep and Meryt-Neit of the First Dynasty.
		Hatshepsut's reign can be called the most significant out of all of these female reigns because she ruled for a longer period of time, and Egypt was stable and prosperous under her rule.

	Hatshepsut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Ancient Egypt, women had a higher status than they did elsewhere in the ancient world, including the court-protected right to own or inherit property.
		Yet having a female ruler in her own right was rare: only Khent-Kaues, Sobeknefru and possibly Nitocris preceded her as ruling in their own name.
		Pharaoh was an exclusively male title; at this point in Egyptian history there was no word for a Queen regnant, only one for Queen consort, and as such, the women who ruled before Hatshepsut used the Queen consort's title of "God's Wife of Amun".

	THE MIDDLE KINGDOM
		Economic growth reached its zenith under his reign, interest in the agricultural potential of the Faiyum increased, and a huge temple to the local god Sobek was erected at Kiman Faris.
		Little is known about either Amenemhet IV or Queen Sobeknefru, as neither feature much in written records, although it is presumed that Amenemhet IV died prematurely and Queen Sobeknefru acted as regent, ruling later in her own right for a short period.
		The 13th Dynasty apparently bears no resemblance to a proper political dynasty, and for this reason was often considered as part of the Second Intermediate Period.

		Senusret's successor Amenemhat III reaffirmed Sesostris' foreign policy, but under his reign the marshy Fayyum was also first exploited, and he was remembered for the mortuary temple he built known to Herodotus, Diodorus, and Strabo as the Labyrinth.
		However, after Ammenemes, the energies of this dynasty were largely spent, and the growing troubles of rule were left to the dynasty's last ruler, queen Sobeknefru, to handle.
		It was during the Twelfth dynasty that we find the earliest examples of Egyptian literature.

		Many books mention the hermetic school of Pharaoh Tuthmosis III, who reigned about 1450 BC, but it is not generally known that the school he inherited was the original Court of the Dragon, founded by the priests of Mendes in about 2200 BC.
		It was later ratified by the 12th-dynasty Queen Sobeknefru as a sovereign and priestly Order, to be eventually passed from Egypt to the Kings of Jerusalem and the Black Sea Princes of Scythia.
		Around 600 years ago King Sigismund of Hungary reconstituted the Order, which exists today as the Imperial and Royal Court of the Dragon Sovereignty under the auspices of the House of Vere of Anjou.

		Egypt's first female king was the shadowy Neithikret (c.2148-44 BC), remembered in later times as 'the bravest and most beautiful woman of her time'.
		The next woman to rule as king was Sobeknefru (c.1787-1783 BC) who was portrayed wearing the royal headcloth and kilt over her otherwise female dress.
		A similar pattern emerged some three centuries later when one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs, Hatshepsut, again assumes traditional kingly regalia.

		Before her, Egypt had only had one queen regnant, Sobeknefru, who used the title "king's wife".
		In order to become Pharaoh and full ruler rather than a king's wife, Hatshepsut chose to call herself "king" - there was no word for queen.
