Write about the person here.
Neithhotep’s name translates to the goddess “Neith is Satisfied” Neithhotep was one of the earliest African queens whose name was known. She was the first queen of kmt which is also known as ancient Egypt cofounder of the first dynasty. Neithhotep married King Narmer.
Neithhotep represents black excellence because she was the one of the first queens to have a name for herself. She was of such a high ranking as a queen. She was a very powerful black woman.
An interesting thing I found about Neithhotep was the many Egyptologists and historians had thought that she was a king because of outstanding large royal serekh surrounding her name. they later found out she was in fact a woman with an extraordinary rank. She was the wife of the first Egyptian Pharaoh.
