Nesi (Pharaoh) Taharka - Its at Karnak that he made the greatest impact, thanks to the man he installed as Mayor of the City: the Great Architect/Montu Priest Montuemhat, who also held the title of Fourth Prophet to Amun. At Karnak, the Sacred Lake structures, the Kiosk in the first court, the Colonnades at the Temple entrance and the 900+ Ram Sphinxes are all owed to Taharka and Montuemhat.

Amenemhet III - Amenemhat III - Nimaatre, Considered by some to be the greatest pharaoh of the Middle Kingdom. He was the 6th Pharaoh of the 12th dynasty. He reigned for 46 years.

Egyptian Queen From the time of Amenhotep III. The figurine is made of red quartzite. The colour was probably associated with the rising sun, considering that around this time, the cult of the all-powerful sun god was on the rise. It would reach its height during the reign of Akhenaten. On the forehead of this figurine, there was originally a cobra head, a symbol of power worn by both gods and pharaohs.

The family resemblance (or at least stylistic resemblance) between the royals within the 12th and 18th dynasties are astounding. Ain't no denying.

The only thing we really know for certain about Kiya is her name, written in the forms kiya, kiw, kia, kaia, and that she was a wife of Akhenaten titled The Great Beloved Wife. Much information about Kiya was lost over time and nowadays information about her is mixed with the biographies of Nefertiti and other women of Amarna, leading to an air of mystery about who Kiya really was. by Natalia Klimczak Ancient Origins
