I was contacted initially to translate the papyrus, of which the owner wasn't sure if it was an authentic ancient papyrus. I have to admit, when I first looked at it, I wasn't sure either. I have retranslated many ancient documents over the past 10 years, including the Rosetta Stone, section 1 of the Papyrus of Ani, and many other ancient texts in ancient Hebrew (Proto Sinaitic), Aramaic (Syriac), Cuneiform, ancient written Greek and more. There are always surprises. This papyrus probably surprised me more than it should have, but there has been an assault on ancient texts written about ancient women, being intentionally translated inaccurately. So to see this papyrus, I was surprised this one slipped though the mistranslation mill. In the papyrus a queen is described as intelligent, beautiful and a fair ruler. She is described as being a professional, a merchant who produces food for her citizens. In many ways, including these, she is described in a way women today would like to be remembered, more than just looks. The papyrus says she was a visionary and a strong woman. This papyrus was found in a house that was being emptied after the owner passed away. It was found with a photo of who was likely the owner. The question is how did the original owner come to be in possession of such a beautifully written eulogy to an ancient Egyptian queen? There was no translation found with the papyrus. The question of its authenticity is overwhelming. Is it truly an ancient papyrus from ancient Egypt? The writing style is similar to what is called the Edwin Smith Papyrus. In fact, the writing looks like it was written during the same period of that papyrus. According to the Wikipedia article about it, "The Edwin Smith Papyrus is an ancient Egyptian medical text, named after Edwin Smith who bought it in 1862, and the oldest known surgical treatise on trauma... It dates to Dynasties 16-17 of the Second Intermediate Period in ancient Egypt, c. 1600 BCE." Is it possible this papyrus was purchased in the same way as was the Edwin Smith Papyrus? Possibly by a collector? This has become an issue, ancient Egyptian papyri taken out of Egypt or otherwise sold illegally without the authority and approval of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. We don't know about its authenticity, and if it is authentic at all, nor how it was removed from Egypt. But we would like to know and possibly return it to Egypt where it may belong. As for now, if it is authentic, it is an orphan. Separated from its other family of papyri where it rightfully belongs. This book is a way to, hopefully, bring attention to it, so that it can be authenticated, identified and returned to Egypt where it belongs. If you have any information about this papyrus, or if you would like to be part of its authentication and return to Egypt, you are encouraged to contact us at the email address listed on the copyright page of this book. Thank you.

Excerpt from The Funeral Tent of an Egyptian Queen: Printed in Colours, in Facsimile, From the Authors Drawings Taken at Boulak; Together With the Latest Information Regarding Other Monuments and Discoveries; With Translations of the Hieroglyphic Text and Explanatory Notices of the Various Emblems In translating the hieroglyphic texts on the tomb of Rameses I received valuable assistance from Dr. Wiedemann of Leipzig, who visited the tomb with me. Some of the other texts have been, with his usual kindness, revised by Dr. Birch. The translation of the long text on the right-hand wing of the canopy has been submitted by me to Maspero, and approved of by him as sufficiently accurate; the early part of it contains some difficult and doubtful characters. I may take this opportunity of acknowledging the able assistance I have received from the eminent firm of lithographers, Messrs. Vincent Brooks, Day Co., in placing the illustration of the Tent before the public printed in its original colours, as well as in the skill shown in the production of the other plates. At the end will be found a Table of Temperatures taken at Thebes most conscientiously thrice daily during five months, by J. D. Hutcheson, Esq., M.D., and kindly contributed by him to this work; and I have added my own Meteorological Observations for three months in various parts of the Nile valley, believing that these tables will be found useful by those who think of visiting Egypt as a winter health resort.

Celebrated in literature and Hollywood movies, the lives of the Ancient Egyptian queens have become synonymous with power, beauty, and glory. Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Nefertari and Hatchepsut are familiar names today, although the women themselves are not known as well as the mythology around them. The wives, mothers, or daughters of pharaohs, their influence on three thousand years of ancient Egyptian history is indisputable. This book offers a unique and heretofore unexplored insight into the key role they played and unveils the true nature of their political and spiritual influence, which was very different from the cliched portrayals most readers are familiar with. Some of the questions answered in this book include: What was the real status of the Egyptian queens? What was the status of second wives and concubines? What was their role in religious celebrations? What was their beauty regime?

She was the last ruler of the Macedonian dynasty of Ptolemies who had ruled Egypt for three centuries. Highly educated (she was the only one of the Ptolemies to read and speak ancient Egyptian as well as the court Greek) and very clever (her famous liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony were as much to do with politics as the heart), she steered her kingdom through impossibly taxing internal problems and railed against greedy Roman imperialism. Stripping away preconceptions as old as her Roman enemies, Joyce Tyldesley uses all her skills as an Egyptologist to give us this magnificent biography.

A vivid account of two female pharaohs; beautiful Nefertiti (1367-1350 BC) and mysterious Cleopatra (51-30 BC). Both politically adept, they also distinguished themselves in their love for the greatest men of their day: Nefertiti for the sun-worshipping Akhenaten, and Cleopatra for Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. The author has researched museum collections and excavation reports, as well as contemporary writings, to recreate the settings of their domestic lives.
