The Women Who Ruled Before Cleopatra (Hatshepsut, Sobekneferu, Ahhotep, Kandake Amanirenas)!

Before Cleopatra became a legend, Africa had already crowned its queens. Long before Rome shaped global memory, rulers like Sobekneferu, Hatshepsut, Ahhotep, and Kandake Amanirenas governed powerful African civilizations. In the Middle Kingdom of Kemet and the Kingdom of Kush, female sovereignty was not an exception — it was embedded in sacred kingship, Ma’at, dynastic succession, and imperial defense. This documentary explores the first historically confirmed female pharaoh, the woman who became king, the warrior queen who stabilized Egypt during the Hyksos occupation, and the Kushite Kandake who forced Rome into negotiation. These African queens ruled centuries before Cleopatra, challenging the assumption that ancient power was exclusively male. Why do we remember Cleopatra — but not the sovereign women who ruled before her? If the crown was never male, what does that change about how we understand leadership, legitimacy, and history itself? Stay with HISTORY STORE as we restore what global memory narrowed.
