She was the vastly intelligent ruler of Egypt, who married her young brother, Ptolemy XIII (that was the norm for Egyptian royalty). She wasn't very happy with this arrangement, so she tried to seize full control over the throne. Realizing she needed a little help to accomplish this task, she famously smuggled herself into Julius Caesar's place by hiding inside of a rolled up rug. She greatly impressed Caesar and the two became fast allies and lovers. Eventually, after her lover's assassination at the hands of his own allies, Cleopatra ended up with Marc Antony, the famous Roman general. Her life finally ended when Octavian declared war on her and Marc Antony. Not wanting to be captured, she poisoned herself to avoid becoming Octavian's prisoner.

Akhenaten upended a centuries-old religious system to favor worship of a single deity, the sun god Aten, and moved Egypt’s religious capital from Thebes to Amarna.Tutankhamun inspired the world of design and popular culture, from the most expensive jewellery and furniture, to ceramics, games, cigarette cards and posters; from a ‘King Tut’ brand of Californian lemons produced by the Johnson Fruit Company, to books such as ‘The Kiss of the Pharaoh: The Love Story of Tut-Ankh-Amen’, published in 1925 ; from the then American President, Herbert Hoover (1874 to 1964), calling one of his dogs ‘King Tut’ , to songwriter, Harry Von Tilzer, writing a ‘Roaring Twenties’ novelty hit, ‘Old King Tut’.
