Abstract

There is no doubt that women played a multitude of roles in the Ancient Egyptian civilization: as gods, queens, workers, and house holders. The women of Hawara, in particular, had an important role in the Egyptian civilization. Perhaps, the most outstanding example was Queen Sobek -Neferou, who ruled Egypt for three years, four months and twenty days. She completed the funerary temple of King Amenemhat III, and his daughter, Princess Neferou- Path, whose necropolis was found in 1956 with all the contents of the funerary furniture. There are also many of the goddesses, which characterized the Hawara area in Ancient Egypt down to to the Greco-Roman time, such as Isis, Nut, Hathor, Taort, Nekhbet, Neit, Selket, Maat, Ouadjet and Nephtliys, etc. Having been found in Hawara, the women's participation in such monuments is represented by either funerary furniture or tools of every day's life. The research aims to study the scenes and the monuments, which refer to both ladies of the royal family or the goddesses of Ancient Egypt in the Hawara area. It further highlights their relics at the Egyptian Museum.
