Egyptian Art
Egyptian women were treated better than other major civilizations of the ancient world, and as far as the law was concerned, were regarded as totally equal to men. Egyptians believed that happiness was a goal to be obtained in ones life, and believed home and family was the major source of joy and delight.
Egyptian queens were very powerful and had an great influence on the country. One women, Hatshepsut, even became Pharaoh and ruled in her own name for a number of years. Another great queen, Nefertari, continued the tradition of strong queens begun in the Eighteenth Dynasty, and was worshipped as a goddess.
