Goddesses and Queens in Ancient Egypt: Roles and Influences

Abstract

Primitive life continued for thousands of years, and no one knows how many years it lasted, because the emergence of the science of history regarding the emergence of human life is considered something recent. However, most historians and anthropologists in the world agree that the female had a greater human and social value than the male, and that the ancient god was female and that before the emergence of the patriarchal family (patriarchal system) society was matrilineal; moreover, the mother was the origin and is the nerve and she is the one to whom children are attributed. As a result of the dominance of the patriarchal system over the history of humanity, we may have neglected at some point to listen to the voice of the female goddess who appeared in the civilizations of the ancient East, specifically in the Neolithic Age.

There is much evidence that era was dominated by feminist culture, especially after women invented agriculture and became the source of life, i.e. earth goddess. They are the ones who revive the earth after its death so that it blooms and bear’s fruit; the mother and the young virgin daughter were often worshiped, and the word “virgin” in those days meant “independent.” The patriarchy, as we know it, has not existed since the beginning of time. There is no doubt that history has written with a masculine perspective, and the available information about the status of women or the relationship between them and men in prehistory is under by male domination.
