Merneith is believed to be the first female pharaoh in recorded history, reigning in the First Dynasty of Egypt around 2950 BC.  Merneith, meaning "Beloved by Neith," was the great-granddaughter of Narmer, the founder of the First Dynasty and the daughter of Djer, the third pharaoh. Her royal lineage and connection to the early Egyptian goddess Neith, known as the prime creator, set the stage for her rise to power.
